The manufacture of blown glass appears in 300 bc and originated in the countries of west asia. The technique of blown glass was born in an area bounded by the mediterranean, sinai, lebanon and syria. This art of glassblowing spread throughout europe thanks to the political and commercial network of trade and migration of the roman empire. The craftsman places in the oven materials such as silica, and recycled glass, which will give glass once brought to high temperature. The glassmaker will take turns, blowing his glass, cooling it, reheating it in the oven, and adding molten glass. He thus shapes, little by little, the piece according to the shape he wishes. Once the piece is shaped, the craftsman places it in an oven that will control the cooling time of the glass. The manufacture of the vase is very delicate, the stretched top is each time a little different which makes this object unique, despite its manufacture in small series. About the designer: In france as well as beyond borders. The elegance of its staged flowers adorns haute couture shows as well as the evenings of the cannes film festival. What pleases. His audacity. Like an alchemist she mixes, mixes, bets on the exceptional, goes off the beaten track, favors short circuits.
