'Cobra' vase, red and bronze

A bronze cobra snakes around the body of this vase by Vanessa Mitrani for an expression that is both sensual and surreal. The deep red glass vessel, mouthblown inside a cast, presents an undulating silhouette with a tilting narrow neck that is suited to accommodating single stems or minimal floral arrangements. Alternatively, the vase may be displayed empty for a potent appreciation of Mitrani's elegant commentary of the delicate line between love and death.
