A special glassblowing technique developed at SkLO gives these vessels their "seam" while they are hot on the glassblower's pipe. This creates the unique asymmetrical, off-center double mouths that are the signature detail of these beautiful vessels. The seam is produced in a palette of rich transparent colors. Then the glass is frosted, resulting in a vibrant, irresistible depth. The open mouths are ground and polished. Two sizes, five glass colors. 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.
