For a stunning centrepiece for a table, or for a sideboard or mantelpiece, choose smoke trail hand-blown glass pots by Kalki. The smoke trail details of the pot add mystery to the design, the hazy glow masking a world of stories and secrets.

Standing 13cm tall, this glass pot is perfect on its own or alongside the vase from the same collection.

Like all of the glass art available from Kalki, these magnificent hand-crafted glass pots are made without mechanical processes or moulding.

Choose the smoke trail glass pot when looking for a gift for a lover of glass in a neutral colour and shade. The perfect addition to any room in the home no matter what the existing colour scheme, choose the smoke trail pot to add mystery and a haze of confusion to your home.

N.B. The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each piece is handmade and therefore there will be small variations in colour and pattern. Each one is completely unique and signed by the artist.

Glass Pots Artist

Kalki’s relationship with glass started at the tender age of 13 when he came across a glass art studio in Northern Ireland. Moving from the South with his family, he would spend as much time as possible hanging out at the Glass Studio he had stumbled across.

Kalki finished his secondary school education, spending as much as possible of his spare time at the studio. America was his destination on completing school, and here he would learn more about his passion by visiting several studios and getting to know their individual artists.

On return from America, Kalki enrolled at Sunderland University to study for a BA honours degree in Glass, Architectural Glass, and Ceramics. His passion for glass had intensified during his time in America, and in 2007 he graduated from Sunderland. 2008 took Kalki to Australia, and on his return, he was to start working for the Jane Charles Studio of Glass in Sunderland as well as the National Glass Centre.

Today, Kalki continues to work in Sunderland, for both studios and as a glass blower and practising glass artist. Kalki’s works are inspired by many fields including science, the natural world, colour, and culture. Molten glass is the perfect material for expressing and capturing his inspirations, Kalki loves to share his fascination with glass with others through his works, such as these stunning glass pots.
