I like the shapes of these new, handblown glasses from Toast.

Does anyone know who makes them?

Lanterne Marine

Wow – these large, hand-blown glass vases from BarberOsgerby for Venini are truly beautiful. Apparently, they’re inspired by the lanterns on the boats in the Venetian Lagoon – which the designers spotted on a trip to visit Venini’s workshop on Murano.

It’s difficult to get a sense of scale here – but the last shot gives a better sense of their size. These are proper centrepieces!

Via It’s Nice That.

Tomas Kral’s ‘Upgrade’

manmakehome — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:28:28 +0000

I’ve only recently come across Tomas Kral’s ‘Upgrade’ series – where he’s applied traditional decorative techniques for crystal (like engraving and gilding) to ‘upgrade’ old, industrial glass pieces (like milk bottles and jars.)

The results are fantastic – and the idea is perfectly simple and straightforward. I bet it won’t be long before we see a lot of similar stuff on the high street. (Imitation as flattery and all that!)
