The Chiana Handblown Vase

Named for the waters off Chania, Crete, this vase arrives in opaque lapis blue with transparent handles, stem and blown foot, each element separately worked and joined by hand at Gather's Woolwich studio. The exaggerated silhouette pulls from classical Venetian glassmaking and ancient Grecian form in equal measure, and lands on a shelf the way a precious object does: like it was always meant to be there.
