Details

To coincide with our 'Shapes for Holding' exhibition, we collaborated with Lynn Everett Read to design a series of clear glass Ripple Vases. Offered in four distinct shapes and various sizes, these mouth-blown vessels capture a moment in time—when a ripple of molten glass turns solid. Created by fusing two layers of glass into a single form, the Ripple Vase is designed to highlight the point of fusion rather than conceal it. The resulting form represents glass not as a perfected surface but as a material that remembers its once-molten state.

Artist Notes

Vitreluxe

Nestled neatly off the main street of Portland's historic Sellwood neighborhood sits Lynn Read's quaint and unassuming glassblowing studio, Vitreluxe.

Named after Read's affinity for expressive and lustrous forms, Vitreluxe embodies glasswares that command attention in any context. With over two decades of glass blowing experience, Read designs with a refreshing lack of preciousness that allows new forms and ideas to occur within the material. The resulting pieces feature organic textures and shapes that celebrate the unpredictability and unique nature of glass.

Outside of his commitment to offering vibrant and spirited works, Read's deep respect for the natural world not only influences his designs but also helps guide his ethical values. Running on 100% renewable energy, Vitreluxe remains one of the few glass studios to implement a fully sustainable system for melting glass.
