A vase valued as a work of art

The main characteristics of this object are that it contains liquid materials such as: water or air fresheners and must be made of resistant and not very permeable materials, such as glass and ceramic . The most requested ones recall the terracotta vases famous since ancient times, which were modeled manually by skilled craftsmen in raw clay , taking on a lot of resistance once fired. Over time, thanks to new technologies, other types of materials are proposed such as ceramic vases and porcelain vases or metal vases . The silver vases or straight gold vases are purchased for luxurious environments , but if you are looking for a compromise kasa-store also offers you stone vases or marble vases , or plexiglass vases which are more suitable for those who love respect for environment as they are made with recycled materials .

A practical object with a thousand functions

Since ancient Greece , the vase has been an element linked both for its materials and its shapes to other peoples who used it. The original shape of this object starts from a narrow base, with a widened belly and then ends with a narrower edge or upper lip. Often right in the center of the belly, motifs or drawings were engraved, which reflected a moment experienced. From this shape comes the jug for wine or water or to transport larger quantities of liquids or solids the amphora . Their peculiarity, unlike the vase, was that they had side handles, to facilitate transport due to their greater weight. Precisely the amphorae from the Greek ἀμϕορεύς, meaning to be carried on both sides, were made of terracotta to transport: wine , oil , fish , honey , they could also be used for conservation and/or transport thanks to a terracotta lid. In the local Italian tradition there are the orcio , the giara or the capasone .

The decorative vase and some notions of its history

Ceramic vases, as already mentioned, were used for the transport of goods between nearby and distant countries. The materials used to make them are above all: terracotta , porcelain , alabaster , or those used by nomadic populations such as leather which are lighter and compatible with personal transport. Finally, since ancient times they have also been used as cinerary vases or funerary urns , containers currently used to contain the ashes of the deceased after cremation. The production of Italian ceramics , from the 15th century to the 17th century, influenced the creation of jugs or wedding trousseaus and the most famous are those from Faenza or Capodimonte while as regards glass vases they are made of glass blown by master glassmakers in the glass factories of the lagoon centre, and we all know the famous Murano glass vases

Furnishing vases: what colors, materials and decorations are recommended for a unique design

If you are looking for an indoor vase you are in the right site. Today, houses are increasingly smaller but no one wants to miss out on complete furnishings and decorations that make them look like small luxury villas . Precisely for this reason, the attention to every detail of domestic and contract environments integrates furnishings and decor in environments devoid of lights and colour. Vases are considered essential products for finishing and coloring any room. Kasa-store offers you a wide choice with various types of finishes designed to give warmth to your environments. If you have a modern environment you will need to place colored vases , or you can find vases in the most disparate shapes such as foot-shaped or shoe-shaped . They are not just containers for flowers and plants, designer vases are the winning key for furnishing, all created by the most famous designers, who work hard for the choice of: material, shape, surface, color and transparency. Free-standing vases, to be placed on the ground or on a piece of furniture or shelves. Wall vases or hanging vases are also used both for walls and as table tops, the installation of which allows you to create magical and very natural environments if overflowing with flowers. Glass or ceramic vases are the most classic ones with a transparent finish in the case of glass or terracotta in the case of ceramic, but you can find ones with more contemporary finishes such as vases with colored lines or vases with designs just like the Tiffani or murrinati.

Exceptional works of art

Like sculptures, the marble vases are carved from the famous Carrara marble , and then shaped into sophisticated and very beautiful objects. These too cannot simply be called vases but works of art because after being mechanically worked, skilled craftsmen model and refine their shapes to give them a more moderate and contemporary face. Being handmade, each piece is a unique work, in fact called works of art. While if we see plexiglass vases , they are much less artisanal but their workmanship leads the product to be a sculptural work that you can admire its beauty by placing a beautiful bouquet of flowers in. The vases can be simple decorations for the home but also works that are part of the limited edition category. An example of an iconic vase is the very famous Aalto vase designed by Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino inspired by the lakes of Finland , on the occasion of the competition that the Karhula-Iittala glassworks held in 1936 for the International Exhibition in Paris.
