Double-sided vessels composed of tapering conical shapes joined together at their narrowest points. Using moulds to blow the individual glass shapes allows careful control over the exact sizes and proportions of the finished piece. Each half of each unique Taper Vessel is a different transparent color, and the color palette of the entire collection carefully repeats itself to insure multiple vessels always work together as a composition. Each end is open so that the vessels are entirely functional and reversible – the open ends are cut and finish polished. Five unique shapes, colors available only as shown. 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.
