Vase à fleurs échancré

Between 1940 and 1942, Charlotte Perriand was active in Japan, tasked by the former Ministry of Commerce and Industry with defining the new directions and strategies to impart to industrial production in the Land of the Rising Sun. The Vase à fleurs échancré dates back to this creative period that saw the pioneer of modernity engaged in an exchange of views with the Asian artisan tradition and its key players. The vase is made entirely of glass blown in a cast-iron mould and then reworked by hand by skilled artisans. The latter step gives shape to deliberately uneven lines that emphasise the uniqueness of the product. The generous thickness of the rounded border further accentuates the sophisticated tactile nature of the vase. Vase à fleurs échancré is available in three different colour options – transparent, yellow and blue and, exclusively online, in emerald green.
