Large, bright and very physical in presence, this piece has the kind of surface that changes with every movement of light.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase combines a heavy inner layer of blue glass with a metallic carnival glass finish. The outer surface glows in gold, bronze, copper, violet, petrol blue and smoky silver tones. In some light it looks almost molten, in other light more like aged metal or mineral stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign and Glass Surface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is tall and generous, with a rounded body, narrow neck and flared rim. The surface has an organic relief texture, full of uneven lines, raised areas and small natural variations from the making process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metallic finish follows the Tiffany carnival glass tradition, where an iridescent film is applied to the glass surface. Here the effect is especially dramatic: the golden bronze skin sits over the blue glass beneath, creating deep colour shifts and reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by Espoon Taidelasi Oy, Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original maker’s label has been preserved on the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker: Espoon Taidelasi Oy\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Finland\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: second half of the 1990s\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: hand made glass\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: carnival glass finish, metallic iridescent surface\u003cbr\u003eColour: blue glass inside, gold and bronze iridescent surface outside\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 27 cm\u003cbr\u003eMarking: original Espoon Taidelasi Oy label on the base\u003cbr\u003eCondition: excellent vintage condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo visible signs of use.
