Contemporary Vases ‘Enveloped’ by Remigijus Kriukas

These simple contemporary vases are made using hand-blowing and free-forming, where previously hand-blown pieces of glass are attached to one another to create bigger and bolder pieces.

The artist’s technique here is an understated beauty. The shards of free-formed glass are delicately attached to the vase as a rose petal to a stem.

There is no greater humility than understatement in glass and this piece is sure to be a cherished statement piece.

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.
