Asprey's Four Seasons vase exemplifies their dedication to precision and craftsmanship, setting a remarkable standard for attention to detail.
Within this crystalline form, a narrative unfolds, depicting the beauty of the California summer season. Hand-carved with utmost precision are California sycamore trees, fairy duster flowers, poppy flowers and apricot mallow flowers.
Each vase in the North America Four Seasons collection has been designed and crafted to fulfil a specific Asprey brief by an immensely talented contemporary studio glass artist. Combining traditional cup-casing techniques with contemporary cameo carving methods, these vases are the epitome of artistic fusion. Mouth blown and built up in layers of rich transparent glass colours, the vase boasts multiple strata of pure colour, creating a blank canvas for the carving work. Through a meticulous process involving fine diamond drill engraving and 'sand carving' techniques, the vases are hand-carved with exquisite detail and relief on both the interior and exterior.
Each piece in the collection is truly one-of-a-kind, taking an impressive 45 to 50 hours to produce. With its exclusivity to Asprey and its embodiment of timeless British craftsmanship, this vase stands as a testament to refined elegance and artistic excellence.
