KINTURU Blown Glass Globe Vase Circular Open Form

KINTURU | French Vintage Hand-Blown Globe Glass Vase

A perfect circle within a perfect sphere — where form becomes sculpture.

✦ ABOUT THIS PIECE

Generously spherical and wholly architectural, this hand-blown glass vase is defined by one remarkable structural detail: a complete circular opening pierced through the center of the globe body, forming a visible ring that passes entirely through the vase. This is not a decorative print or an applied element — it is formed directly in the glassblowing process, making it a genuine feat of artisan craft.

The glass itself carries a faint warm champagne-green tint, fully transparent, allowing the stems and water within to become part of the visual composition. Gentle, concentric swirl ripples across the surface are the natural trace of the hand-blowing process — no two pieces are identical.

✦ KEY FEATURES

🫧 Pierced Globe Form — A structurally integrated circular opening runs through the full body of the vase; a hand-blown construction detail, not a surface decoration 🫧 Champagne-Green Tinted Glass — Barely-there warm green tint that reads as near-clear in most lighting; reveals its colour depth when filled with water and stems 🫧 Natural Swirl Ripple Texture — Concentric flowing lines across the entire surface, a direct result of the hand-blowing process 🫧 Full Sphere Silhouette — Wide, round, and low-necked; a bold volumetric form that functions as a centrepiece in its own right 🫧 Premium Hand-Blown Glass — High transparency, thick-walled construction; durable and substantial with a naturally weighted base

✦ STYLING NOTES

🌿 The wide belly supports generous, loose arrangements — Queen Anne's lace, eucalyptus, and large-headed blooms drape naturally over the rim 🏛️ The pierced circle creates a visual frame through which stems and greenery become part of the composition — styling becomes effortless 🖼️ Beautiful alongside plaster sculpture, marble surfaces, linen drapery, and neoclassical French interior styling

✦ CARE

Hand wash with lukewarm water. The interior is fully accessible through the neck opening; use a long-handled brush for thorough cleaning. Dry upright to allow complete drainage. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
