Uruqin draws inspiration from the walking paths naturally carved by nomadic Bedouin tribes in the last corner of Yemen where they still live their traditional lifestyle. Featuring layers of fine silver foil from Japan delicately encased within clear glass. The design of this blown glass vessel is further enriched with accents of white glass powder and intricate copper ruby glass rod, creating a mesmerizing interplay of colors and textures that evoke the spirit of desert landscapes.
Hand-shaped while hot on the pipe and meticulously blow-molded in a custom cherrywood mold, each Uruqin vessel is a unique piece of art crafted with precision and care. The finished piece is distinguished by a cut and polished lip, showcasing the artist's attention to detail and commitment to quality. Signed on the bottom, this vessel not only embodies authenticity but also represents a blend of artistic vision and technical skill. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike, Uruqin stands as a striking example of the artistry and craftsmanship that defines handmade blown glass.
