Mendoza Vase, Small

The Mendoza Vase in its smaller scale is a study in the quiet authority that hand-formed soda lime glass commands when shaped by a practiced hand — its proportions neither modest nor imposing, but precisely considered. Each piece carries the subtle evidence of its making, the gentle irregularities that distinguish craft from manufacture and lend the object a singular, unrepeatable presence. Placed on a console, a library shelf, or gathered among its kind, it contributes that essential note of warmth and intelligence that elevates a room from decorated to designed.
