The Brick Vase combines molten glass with a structured metal frame through a unique blown glass process. Its glass form appears to expand beyond the brick-patterned metal structure, creating visual contrast between soft curves and rigid geometry. The vessel offers distinctive character with its unconventional construction method, while the metal framework provides structural support and artistic definition.
Created using a unique process whereby molten glass is poured into a metal structure before being blown, Vanessa Mitrani's 'Brick Vase' presents an original and unique vessel. Appearing to bloat and spill out of a metal frame of bricks, the dark blue vase offers a compelling contrast between soft and hard.
