Melrose L Guaxs Vase

Guaxs glass is processed in small, exclusive factories that specialize in producing limited editions for international artists and designers. The craftsmen usually work in teams. To be successful, teams need a high degree of skill and experience, but also coordination and physical strength. Once the metal mold has been prepared in several different stages, the glass blowing process can begin. First, each worker uses a blowtorch to collect a certain amount of glass – depending on the size of the object. Further preparatory steps follow before the master glassblower blows the hot glass into the metal mold. Thanks to the refined and characteristic shape that is the trademark of Guaxs, this task can only be carried out by qualified craftsmen. When the processed object gradually cools down after a few days, the various cutting and polishing phases occur. In several complex and meticulous steps, the glass surface is processed and finished by hand. This is how the object acquires its individual structure and its distinctive, unique Guaxs character. Each shape is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Note! Due to handmade nature, color may vary slightly.
