Description

Bola by Carol Gay grew out of a wish to break with the traditional way of producing glass in series, where shapes are always made inside a mould.

Here the glass is blown on top of the mould. The process still allows repetition, but the craftsman’s gesture can be seen in each piece in a unique way. The result is a unique piece in which weight, lightness and transparency act together.

The glass contains no quicksilver, is recyclable and is made using an electric oven, without burning CO2.

Bola is offered in small, medium and large sizes. As a craft product, shapes and sizes may vary.

Customization is available on request.
