A broad, shallow bowl of handblown Czech glass that sits freely atop a metal ring base. The handblown glass bowl is blown without the use of a mould – it is shaped by hand while hot on the glass blower's pipe, and it is extra thick and massive as a result. This allows for the lip of the glass bowl to be cut and highly polished. The sturdy ring is custom made to fit the bowl, elevating it. All glass dimensions are approximate – handblown glass dimensions vary by nature and intent. Made in the Czech Republic.
We design and manufacture handblown glass lighting and objects from our studios in Healdsburg, Northern California and the Czech Republic. Every SkLO product is made with a deep appreciation for the richness of its organic material and the historical craft tradition it embodies.SkLO designs demonstrate careful attention to detail, and a commitment to achieving the simplest expression of beauty. This belief in simplicity and design discipline is always balanced by a deep respect for the raw material, and closeness to the maker. There’s an inherent primal brutality and unexpectedness in glassblowing, and in Czech glass in particular. Masters of the craft make manipulation of molten glass appear effortless, as they employ generations of skillful technique. Our designs celebrate this process in their subtle irregularities, making each one a unique reflection of its long history.
