The Ball Body Vase provides handcrafted appeal through its mouth-blown glass construction and characteristic round form. Its cracked surface texture develops through a specialized heating and cooling process that also reinforces the glass structure. The compact size works well for varied display arrangements, and the durable construction maintains its distinctive appearance over time.
Produced via a process that sees glass fully mouth-blown into a wooden mold, Polspotten's 'Ball Body' vases presents a compelling vision. Delicate and strong at once, the bulbous vessel is defined by a series of cracks along its surface, the result of the vase being plunged into ice cold water immediately after being blown, then placed again into an oven to cement its strength in a technique drawn from a Chinese craftsman. The result is a family of colorful pieces that includes this small yellow vase that can be displayed empty or filled with blooms for equal impact.
