LSA International Mia Vase / Lantern (h 25.5cm)

A lovely mid-sized vase / lantern with a subtly fluted texture. Mouth blown from 100% recycled glass, the glass has a subtle green tint with a few air bubbles present, characteristic of the handmade process. The versatile conical shape may be used for various cut flowers and foliage, or as a lantern. Locally sourced clear jars and bottles are sorted, crushed and heated in the furnace until molten. The skilled glassblower gathers, shapes and makes impressions in the glass that will form the partial optic texture. It is then blown into wooden moulds to form the vase/lantern. Air bubbles will occur as part of this 100% recycled and handmade process.
