Ella Corset Vase

Features

• Juliska glass is mouth-blown by artisans in the Czech Republic. The techniques they use have been passed down through generations of skilled glassmakers. Working in teams of two and three, these artisans have perfected a seamless sequence of motions to create the finished pieces.
• The iron rod is tipped with a wad of hot glass and then applied to the base of a vessel to hold it during manufacture. It often leaves an irregular or ring-shaped scar (called a pontil mark) on the base when the pontil is removed it is seen in nearly all glasses made before the nineteenth century when glass-makers began to erase it.
