Linae vases

2020 / for Purho Murano

The Linae vases — circular pots with a blunt rim are made in solid colour
and thick blown glass — are available in three different shapes and the
same number of finishes / incisions on the glass.
The common starting shape is the sphere, elongated or squashed flat.
The tallest vase, Linae Large, has horizontal incisions creating a pleated
effect — a concertina — as if the object could ideally stretch or tighten
at will.
The medium size, Linae Medium, experiences the effect of gravity more
strongly, and is characterized by 7 vertical ribs made by scooping out the
glass. The small vase, Linae Small, mix of the two other vases, is similar
in shape to the middle-sized one and also feels the force of gravity. The
surface has a horizontal “ribbed” incision reminiscent of the largest vase,
but on a much smaller scale.
