Description

Snake is a unique collectible object by František Jungvirt, part of the Floral Creatures collector’s collection, which was created as a diploma thesis in the glass studio at UMPRUM.

The experimental object works in a novel way with a combination of glass and flowers. Starting from the observation that biological experiments and mutations of nature are becoming more frequent, the artist deliberately sets out to break the stereotypes of making glass objects and of handling a flower, looking for more than the purely aesthetic function of the vase and the flower. The work follows in the footsteps of the Art Nouveau glassmakers and of the botanist and glass artist Émile Gallé.

The piece is made of hand-shaped uranium glass and crystal, combined with a live plant. It was realized in the glass studio of Martin Štefánek in Desná, Czech Republic.

The object is signed and comes with a certificate.
