Pearl II | Z. Fránek | Glass Soul 2023 | glass urn

Zdeněk Fránek

The second interpretation of the pearl explores the theme of organic growth on a larger scale and with a smoother surface. Light refracts in the molten material much as it does in the nacre of a real pearl. COLOR: gray PRODUCT CODE: 2023014

All items we ship are carefully packed and shipped in wooden shipping crates that are certified for air transport. This packaging method ensures a high level of safety and protection for the products during transport, so that they arrive in perfect condition.

The product’s value increases over time thanks to its participation in prestigious exhibitions and displays. Each such exhibition opportunity not only boosts visibility but also increases the value of the exhibit, which attracts the attention of both experts and collectors.

 

Exhibition tours, such as those in Hanoi (Vietnam), the Czech Republic, or Madrid (Spain), are examples of venues where works of art take on a new dimension and prestige, which directly influences their market value.

The Glass Soul brand is synonymous with masterful craftsmanship in mold-cast glass, combined with the artistry of other crafts.

 

Our creations are crafted by master artisans—from jewelers and gem cutters to fine woodworkers and painters, as well as other experts who elevate each product to a unique work of art. Each piece bears the hallmark of handcrafted work and respect for the traditions of Czech glassmaking.

 

Pouring glass into molds allows for the creation of intricate details and unique textures, while collaboration with other crafts adds a new dimension of aesthetic and functional value. Each product is an original, reflecting a unique combination of material, skill, and creativity.

 

Because each piece is handmade, every item is unique, differing in subtle details such as fine bubbles or slight variations in color. These minor variations are not flaws, but rather a testament to the authenticity, meticulous craftsmanship, and unique character of each product.
