Coco Art Glass Vase from the Heroine Collection, 13" by Kateřina Handlová
Designed by Kateřina Handlová, the Heroine Collection was inspired by notable Women and focuses on the legacy of Ruckl Glassworks of the Czech Republic, founded in 1846. Many of the carving patterns are unique and are some of the best examples since the work of Carlo Scarpa for Venini.
The square deep cut applied to the long silhouette of the Coco vases evokes the timeless elegance that Coco Chanel brought to the world of fashion. The French fashion icon's lifelong quest was to make every woman feel comfortable in her clothes. Coco, by her own name Gabrielle Chanel, embodies the liberalisation of fashion and access to it, her iconic diamond-stitched bag, which is also stamped into the hand-cut vase, will probably never go out of style.
Beautiful and functional.

About the Designer:
As one of the first collections by designer Kateřina Handlová in her position as art director of Rückl, the Hero.ine collection is a confident demonstration of the possibilities of working with traditional cut crystal in a modern way, but with reference to its historical heritage. The collection reflects her interest in exploring her own visual language within the Rückl brand, where she builds on previous collections, as well as in cut glass technique and technology, which has remained virtually unchanged over the last few centuries. She focuses on haptics, the contrast between matte and polished surfaces and the fragility and strength of glass.
