Pear vase, 20 cm
The courage to challenge the laws of physics

This exclusive vase inspired by the shape of a pear is reminiscent of a brilliant firmly holding its inclined plane. The precisely cut edges evoke an outwardly strict and exacting appearance. The vase requires approximately nine pairs of hands to create, and the cutters work away nearly half of the original weight of the material. Since everything produced in Moser glassworks is exclusively handmade, the amount of underlaid colour is slightly different in each piece. The variance in colour shades can be seen as a unique feature of handmade crystal.

Design and production
The magic of an inclined plane
With the artifacts from the Hruška collection, a design enters the interior, which rightly draws attention to itself. The vase, which stood at the beginning of this series of decorations, won the prestigious Czech Grand Design Award 2012. Experts and lovers of cut glass were thrilled by the idea of an inclined object, which, however, stands firmly on a robust base. The strong crystal in its sternly cut edges seemed to hold the light in its palms and appropriate it. The Hruška vase is rightly one of the most successful solitaires of the current line Moser.
