Obsidian Transparent Glass Vase No:1

Obsidian Transparent Glass Vase No:1 presents material honesty and traces of the production process with a transparent curation. The Obsidian rock, which forms the basis of the design, establishes a conceptual connection with the transparent blown glass body of the vase, as a type of volcanic glass produced by nature itself. The coming together of two different forms of "glass," one from the depths of the earth's crust and the other shaped by the breath of an artisan, adds high artistic value to the object.

This piece, formed by the liquid transparent glass solidifying upon contact with the sharp and shiny surfaces of the Obsidian rock, creates an optical depth that traps and reflects light. This sharp contrast between the depth of black and the clarity of glass is designed to create a curatorial focal point in modern spaces.

Technical Specifications

The Obsidian series emerges with a limited production discipline due to the rarity of the material and the difficulty of the production technique.

• Production Technique: Shaping of the thermally treated glass on-site according to the natural form of the Obsidian rock.
• Visual Character: Smooth transparent surface integrated with the vitreous luster of Obsidian; high refractive index.
• Stone Feature: Natural Obsidian in jet black color, with characteristic conchoidal fracture surfaces.
• Dimensions: Varying due to the amorphous structure of the product, average 20-25 cm width and stable balance point
