RW GUILD BUD VASE

The Bud Vase was designed, prototyped and refined by Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer over the span of months. Each vase is individually free-blown, an exacting art requiring careful attention to detail, a deft hand, and years of training. In its final stages, it undergoes a rigorous, multiphase cold work process, during which a single master glassblower cuts, grinds, and polishes the piece entirely by hand. Each piece is individually handmade, and natural variations in color, texture, and finish are to be expected and celebrated.
