A cast-glass vessel, smoke over a crystalline foot.
The Vase is a watertight cast-glass vessel: molten glass poured into a raw bark mould, the smoke gathering up top and thinning to clear crystalline glass at the foot. It holds a short stem or stands on its own.
Blown and cast by hand in a natural mould. Dimensions, colour and texture vary from the photographs; no two pieces match, including yours.

Story
The Vase came out of the same bark moulds as the lights — the forms that read better as vessels than as lamps. Cast in a single pour, the smoke gathers at the lip and thins to clear glass at the foot.
It is one of one, because the mould only survives a single pour.

The light
A warm low-voltage LED sits where the cast runs thickest. The glass does the shading: thick sections go deep and quiet, thin sections go bright, and the bark's texture decides which is which.
It is house light, not task light. Hang it low over a table or alone in a hallway and let the wall carry the glow. It is happiest at dusk and after.
There is nothing to maintain. Dust it when you think of it.
