Lava Glass
Flax Vase 11646
Flax Vase 11140. Drawing inspiration from the distinctive, sword-shaped leaves of New Zealand flax- harakeke in te reo Māori -this striking glass form pays homage to one of Aotearoa’s most culturally significant plants.
Harakeke has long held an essential place in Māori life, valued for its versatility and strength. Traditionally, it was used for food and medicine, while its fibres were carefully harvested and woven into clothing, nets, mats, and structural materials. This vase reflects that legacy, translating natural form and cultural heritage into contemporary glass art.
Handblown by award-winning glass artist Lynden Over at his Lava Glass Studio in Taupō, New Zealand, this original work exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship. The large teardrop form is both elegant and commanding - a sculptural statement that captures the quiet power of nature. Each piece is signed and dated by the artist, underscoring its authenticity and collectable value.
Equally suited as a collector’s piece or as a refined interior centrepiece, this one-of-a-kind artwork is designed to command attention and invite contemplation.
