When creating the vase, designer Jiri Suhajek drew inspiration from an hourglass. In his version, however, Bariel features an asymmetric shape, highlighting the ever-changing intensity of the alexandrite and jade-green crystal.

Design and production
Design untouched by time
The Moser glassworks introduced the Bariel Collection in 2000. The elegant and distinctive design quickly gained a following, and the vases received multiple colour variations in the coming years. Currently, two combinations are on offer: the alexandrite crystal is joined by either a rose or jade-green colour.
