Glass and crystal as color ornaments of the house
Perhaps, there is no of more demonstrative subject in the house, than a flower vase. It is possible to define so much if not all on this simple vessel: a taste of the mistress, her predilections, her following to the fashion and, even, her character. The fashion on vases varies promptly and considerably: it can be in honor a heavy bohemia crystal, carved, with an engraving, or an ordinary glass, multi-colored, pleasing an eye with masterful techniques.
There was a time when everyone without the exception took a great interest in vessels from simple transparent glass, reminding chemical flasks by its forms. Those who several years ago has bought these «pharmaceutical utensils» in lots, regret a little about it: you will never put an empty flask on a visible place, it cant bring any decor into the interior, but as how these vases-bottles help when there is a bouquet in the house! The ascetic, but extremely functional form of these vases shades perfectly any flowers - from a rose up to a dandelion.
Most popular of color glass recently can be named as muran glass. Speckled or “agate” when preparation of the future vessel is run in a color crumb, “filigree” (a pattern from the glass strings, laid out lengthways of the walls of the vessel), it represents a bright palette of strange colors. The best-known world producers of this glass are Venini или Barovier & Tosso, whose production can be found both in museums and gift shops.
Nowadays consumers became more particular about the art, and a choice of a vase became more than an ordinary purchase of household goods.
Soft “crystal” with a diamond facet in the form of rhombs (English firm Waterford, for example, ads in crystal weight silicon oxide) is again on the top of the interior fashion. Some firms have risked to experiment and were switched to design vessels (Leonardo, Ligne Roset, Kosta Boda), having received on an output of a vase-molecule or the vases similar to a children’s toy wood lark. Demand generates the offer.
Finally, one flower vase became an obligatory element of any house collection. Here master’s taste is shown to the full: you will not hide behind a bouquet anymore, it is necessary, that both the vessel, and a flower were on the top.
