Ecrin Lidded Vessel Wide
by Sebastian Herkner
Part of the NUDE Ecrin series designed by Sebastian Herkner, this medium-sized container offers an elevated sense of sophistication and elegance. Hand-crafted from crystalline glass, this precious piece stands out with its commanding, heavy base, a curved profile and a colour-infused lid, which recalls the shape of the Ritten rock formations – an impressive natural monument in South Tyrol.
