Vases

The mouth-blown Calabas vase now comes in a unique duo-colour version, which beautifully reflects its relationship to the two existing colours in the series – amber and burgundy. Calabas Duo is created with a special ‘overlay’ technique. The two overlapping colours give it its own unique character, providing an unusually beautiful play of colours and really highlighting the unique process involved in the craft of mouth-blowing glass. The overlapping colours features a combination of warm amber and cool burgundy. The subdued, tranquil colours form a beautiful base with a touch of colour for all kinds of bunches of flowers, whether dried or fresh. The duo vase measures 21 cm and is suitable for a large flower bouquet, because the spacious bottom provides space for a lot of water, while the narrow waist keeps the flowers together. At the same time, the elegant design with the wider opening really shows off the flowers.

Based on a desire to bring Kähler’s craftsmanship legacy and classic techniques up to date, Meyer Lavigne took the shapes of the vases from the archives and playfully created an authentic, artistic expression with even more depth and life thanks to the deep, rich glazes. Canvas is all about the brushstrokes and the intention behind them. You can clearly see that the vases are painted by hand, which lends an expressive, vibrant look. In the decorations, you can sense the designer’s artistic understanding and intuitive movements that make each hand-painted vase a small work of art in itself. The vase is 15 cm and decorated with vertical brush strokes starting from the top and moving downwards. The strokes alternate between wide and narrow, and the edge along the opening of the vase has a transparent black glaze that creates a marked contrast to the delicate colours.
