Glass is itself shaped by fire and these vessels represent this magical transformation. So was the inspiration for these three archetypal forms in hand blown glass infused with a fiery livery. These lead crystal vases remain clear at the top but on their lower halves, are decorated with two-colour lithographs of leaping flames. Each one has a variation on red with highlights of gold. As limited edition pieces they are as divine as the phenomenon they represent.
