Several elements are hot-worked: the base, the neck stretched with pliers, and the small undulations that animate the lower part of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase is adorned with a polychrome enameled decoration of \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese inspiration\u003c\/strong\u003e, consisting of two impressive carp swimming among aquatic plants and flowers. Leaping out of the water, their momentum is suggested by the hot-worked undulations on the lower part of the body, creating small glass ripples. The decoration subtly plays on the \u003cstrong\u003ealternation of solid and void\u003c\/strong\u003e and on delicate \u003cstrong\u003ereserved areas\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly in the treatment of the fins, playing with the transparency of the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003egilded highlights and metallic effects\u003c\/strong\u003e of the glass enrich the composition and fully contribute to its aquatic evocation. The metallic reflections of the material, particularly noticeable in the transparency of the amethyst-pink glass, can thus \u003cstrong\u003eevoke the shimmering of light on the surface of glistening water\u003c\/strong\u003e. The hot-working, in turn, brings an \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and moving dimension\u003c\/strong\u003e to the whole: material, form, and decoration combine to suggest the movement of water and the leaping of fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral vases by Auguste Jean adopt this same form, but each is distinguished by the color of the glass and the composition of its polychrome enameled decoration. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Auguste Jean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54691119563093,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1048\/5255\/4069\/files\/auguste-jean-vase-verre-rose-japonisant-carpe-1.png?v=1787126842","url":"https:\/\/augustejean.com\/en\/products\/vase-verre-tripode-globulaire-rose-amethyste-carpe-japonisme","provider":"Auguste Jean","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
