About the Item

Discover the artistic brilliance of Milan Vobruba through this captivating glass vase. The surface is richly textured, showcasing the artist's mastery. The middle and lower sections of the vase exhibit a delightful blend of metallic bubblegum pink hues, featuring a bubbly and occasionally striped pattern with a smooth surface. In contrast, the upper part of the vase boasts a pale yellow color, bubbly in nature, and characterized by a rough surface. A stunningly vibrant creation by Milan Vobruba, this vase originates from his Gusum Glass studios. Milan's unique Aleppo technique imparts an organic and often bubbly texture to the piece, adding an extra layer of charm and artistic allure.
