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 rose 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.
