Anna von Lipa, squeeze opal vase, amber

These artistic vases are created with an innovative technique where the glass blower will use cold tissue to shape the burning hot crystal straight from the ovens. The result is charming yet delicate, full of personality and each piece is one-of-a-kind. The milky opal colourings adds to the charm and uniqueness of this model. An original design by Anna von Lipa founder, Jytte Correll.

The Anna von Lipa vases are made of delicately coloured mouth-blown, lead-free crystal glass. They are a real eye-catcher and a cheerful blend of traditional Czech glass art and modern Danish design. During the manufacturing process, small air bubbles may appear because air is trapped between the different layers. Since handmade glass is blown from multiple layers, air bubbles are likely. They are a characteristic feature of handmade glass.

About Anna von Lipa glass:
Glass is fantastic material. It is at once fragile and at the same time incredibly strong. Of course, it has a physical strength, withstand, for example, moisture, sun and frost. But it is just as strong in its artistic and aesthetic expression. The transparency and reflection of the glass creates depth when it plays with the light in refractions and reflections. Blowing glass is a fascinating and time-consuming process. The artist handles the glass when it is still liquid to when it is up to 1300˚ Celsius.
