This exceptional three-piece set represents a celebrated collaboration between retailer West Elm and Vitreluxe, an acclaimed Portland, Oregon hot-shop led by master glassblower Lynn Read. The defining characteristic of the collection is the masterfully executed incalmo technique. Originating in 16th-century Murano, Italy, this demanding discipline requires the artisan to blow separate glass components individually, shape them to identical diameters, and fuse them together while molten to create a seamless, precise color boundary.
Crafted using "pot glass"—where raw pigments are melted directly in the furnace rather than cased over clear glass—these vases achieve an intense, rich color saturation. The palette of steel gray, sapphire blue, and burnt pumpkin orange blends semi-opaque fields with transparent sections that dynamically catch and refract light. Perfectly scaled for high-impact symmetry, this tiered set brings the unmistakable weight, quality, and striking geometry of true studio glass art to a modern interior.
