Original branded presentation box included Handmade in Prague, Czech Republic Care: As a hand-crafted glass object, this vase should be handled with care. Dust regularly using a feather duster. If required, wipe gently with a soft damp cloth before drying immediately with a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, paper towels or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the mirrored finish. Not dishwasher safe. Designed by internationally acclaimed artist and designer Arik Levy for Czech glassmaker Verreum in 2012, the Drops Cactus Vase 1 is one of the most distinctive contemporary glass designs of the last decades. Now discontinued, this rare piece has become increasingly sought after by collectors of modern design and art glass. Inspired by the captivating sight of liquid mercury escaping from a broken thermometer, Levy transformed fleeting droplets into a sculptural object that appears almost weightless. Both functional and sculptural, the Drops Vase is designed with a single opening, perfectly suited to display a small cactus, succulent or orchid. Equally compelling when left empty, it functions as a contemporary art object that continually changes with the light and environment around it.
