The Ball Body vase combines artisanal craftsmanship with striking visual appeal through its mouth-blown glass construction. Its bulbous form features distinctive surface cracks created by plunging the hot glass into ice water, then reheating to strengthen the structure using traditional Chinese techniques. The dark purple finish adds deep color to any space, while the durable glass construction ensures lasting beauty. This large vase works equally well displayed empty as a sculptural piece or filled with fresh blooms.
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 large purple vase that can be displayed empty or filled with blooms for equal impact.
