Caleb Siemon Barrel Vase

Filed under: Decor

Glass blowing is a centuries old art form that continues to evolve in the hands of modern artists. Artist Caleb Simeon draws on his training with a Venetian master sculptor and traditional Italian glass blowing techniques to create highly collectible, beautiful works of art. In his gently curved Barrel Vase, the rich bands of colors appear to be slowly melting into one another. The result is a striking piece that feels moody and mysterious, despite the bright hues. $870.

Venini Bolle Bottles

Filed under: Decor

There is something about these bottles that I find very peaceful and serene. Glowing bands of Murano glass are fused together to create a single vessel and the result is beautiful and calm. It is fitting that the technique used to join the glass is known as the Incalmo method. Designed in 1968 by Tapio Wirkkala for Venini, the gently curving shapes of the bottles are set off by vibrant swaths of red and green, subdued with softer shades of blue and gray. And that dash of lemon yellow keeps these mellow bottles from being too quiet. $7380 for the set of five.
