Product Description
The intricate blowing technique to create these stunning Incalmo Neck Vases uses handmade coloured, glass canes fused into the molten lead-free crystal glass from the glassblowing furnace. Ola Höglund is well known for the use of bold colour combinations. A technique that shows off these colour combinations in style, is the Incalmo Technique – it demands two blown bubbles of glass – one for the body and one for the neck. At a particular time, when the bubbles have been worked to the desired size, the two bubbles are joined while still hot. Once cooled in the annealing kiln, you can feel where the two bubbles were joined together.
Each Incalmo Neck Vase is individual, and unable to be repeated – “even if we tried we wouldn’t be able to duplicate them’ – this makes each one unique and each differs due to the techniques used, flow of the colours and the handmade canes. The vases are presented in a never ending range of colour combinations from blues, lilacs and greens through to red, bright lime green and bold black and white.
