Glass Menagerie Bird Vase by Jonathan Adler

Animal Kingdom.Our warm and welcoming stoneware vessels feature melted ground glass in sparkling orange, blue and mossy tones cooled to a crackled finish. Spin to reveal a simple brown and white motif on the reverse. One adds a touch of couture craft to your console, or group the collection to give your mantel some mid-century magic.Jonathan and his team design and sculpt the models in our Soho studio. Prototypes are then sent to our workshop in Peru where skilled artisans produce each piece in high-fired black stoneware. Recycled ground glass melts during firing and pools into reservoirs of glossy color in the hollow recesses. Finally, white oxide stain is rubbed into the textured surface and the piece is lightly waxed after firing to create an appealingly smooth finish.For an insider’s look at how this piece was created, visit The Making Of: Glass Menagerie.Discover our
