Market

The textured bases of Market evoke the woven baskets carried to flower markets - a collection of mouth-blown vases, pots and lanterns inspired by the rhythm of market day. The overflowing baskets of cut stems, the handled pots, the sturdy utility of the vessels that carry flowers home - Market translates that utilitarian warmth into glass. Each piece is mouth-blown by skilled glassblowers, with the lower portion of the vessel shaped to carry a basket-weave texture. The top section is smooth, creating a contrast between the textured base and the clean opening, and giving the arrangement a visual structure that echoes flowers emerging from a woven basket. Market is for homes that bring flowers in often, whether from the garden, the farmers' market or the Saturday florist. The vases are generous in capacity and proportioned to suit loose informal arrangements of seasonal stems. The lanterns carry the same textured base, softening the light they cast and adding a gentle domestic warmth to a mantel, a terrace table or a windowsill.
