This Hungarian jar is a vintage classic, an object of art or unique storage. In the past it was used for pickling vegetables in the pantry, now they are used as a versatile vase or an object of art. Many conventional centerpieces, such as floral arrangements or simple vases, may lack visual appeal. Vases should be versatile enough to suit various occasions, from formal dinners to casual gatherings, while still maintaining a sense of elegance and sophistication. The shimmering beauty of blown glass adds a touch of sophistication and charm to any table setting, or on your kitchen island elevating the overall ambiance of your space.
About blown glass.
Blown glass was invented by Syrian craftsmen in the 1st century BC. They produced blown vessels for everyday and luxury use commercially and exported them to all parts of the Roman Empire. A person who blows glass is called a glassblower, glassmith or gaffer. A gaffer inflates molten glass using a blowpipe. This bubble is then shaped using tools, then reheating the glass to maintain its pliability, and adding color or other decorative elements. The process can be complex and time-consuming, as it involves multiple steps.
