This hand-blown glass vase brings a sculptural elegance to any setting. At its heart lies a rich purple core, framed by a vibrant ring of detailed murrine blossoms that seem to float in motion. The interplay of color and texture gives the piece a dynamic presence that changes with the light.
Standing about 9.75" tall and 6" wide, with a 3" opening, it’s perfectly suited for a striking floral display—or simply to be admired for its craftsmanship and unique character.
Renowned glass artist Lisa Oakley, with over two decades of expertise in the murrine technique, meticulously crafts each vessel. The process begins with creating handmade murrine canes, which are then sliced into delicate cross-sections, revealing intricate patterns and a mesmerizing fusion of color.
