Antrei Hartikainen's breathtakingly beautiful Melt vase is made in cooperation with the Lasismi glass studio in Riihimäki, Finland. The unforgettable design of the mouth-blown Melt vases draws inspiration from the movements of water and its constant metamorphosis from one form to another – the vivid texture of the glass evokes images of spring ice partially melted by the sun or the surface of a lake in sensual movement, escorted by a light summer breeze. A unique mold technique creates the interesting, three-dimensional appearance of Melt vases and turns each vase into a delicate and delightful work of art.
