The Press Stem Vase features a heavyweight, grooved form crafted from thick industrially pressed glass. Its production involves dropping molten glass heated to 1,200 degrees centigrade into two or three-part iron moulds, resulting in a dense, curvy silhouette with a satisfying tactile quality. The chunky construction gives the vessel substantial visual weight, while the clear glass allows full visibility of any stems or arrangements placed within.
