Pineapple fruit has become the inspiration for an exceptional limited edition of crystal vases manufactured in two sizes (21 and 29,5 cm). At first glance, the Pineapple vase attracts with its perfect blending of colors. This is created by the master glassmaker when he pierces the bottom of the future vase with a special tool and, when blowing, connects the two layers of colored glass into a single unit. Every piece is unique, as the color composition varies slightly between each piece.
Lukáš Jabůrek, the icon of Czech modern glassmaking, is behind the idea of a vase inspired by a pineapple. Only the most skilled glassmakers and grinders from Moser work on the Pineapple vase, each of whom has over decades of experience.

Design and production
A VASE FROM THE MOST EXPERIENCED MASTERS
Each piece is an original, because the amount of color is a little different for each piece. Precisely positioned and perfectly ground segments come alive during long hours of focused effort. The master proceeds very slowly, with the utmost care, and only with such care, he can tie all the edges and tips precisely. The grinding process goes vertically, so both the wheel's shape and the cut's depth change continuously.
