Interfere Vase, 35 cm by Moser

Interfere Vase, 35 cm by Moser

The simple, completely regular design of this vase from the Interfere collection creates an unexpected illusion of eternal movement. The collection's name hints at the interference, pervasion and collision of optical effects. The unique optical properties of Czech crystal glass allow the four directions of cut lines to interfere with and influence each other. The colourful background for this captivating effect is formed by sophisticated alexandrite underlaid with amethyst.
