Node vase - smoked grey

The Node Vase is a refined expression of traditional glassmaking, crafted entirely by hand and shaped directly off the pipe by skilled artisans. Free from the constraints of moulds, each vase develops its own organic form, guided by the fluid movement of molten glass and the intuitive rhythm of the maker.

Subtle details reveal the beauty of the process: softly gathered layers of glass at the rim create a gentle ridge, while a deliberate band of suspended air bubbles wraps around the body, recalling pebbles scattered along a shoreline. These tactile elements give the vase depth and individuality, making every piece quietly unique.

Balancing sculpture and function, the Node Vase brings a sense of natural elegance to contemporary interiors. Whether displayed on its own or used to hold flowers, it offers a luminous, understated presence that celebrates the artistry of the handmade.

All of the Utility & Utopia vases are one‑off pieces and may vary in form, finish, and character.///Description
