About the objects
Desidére vase collection
The Desidére vase collection pays homage to classic floral still lifes, delicate forms, tenderness, and fragility. These vases, available in three sizes, stand out for their thin-walled design, highlighting the craftsmanship of Květná‘s glassmakers. A vibrant palette of colors further enhances the elegant curves of the vases. Despite their fragile appearance, the crystal glass from which they are made is very strong and flexible.
