Vase in Cracked Glass

Mouthblown cracked glass

Sculpted by one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary design, the Vase in Cracked Glass is a statement object that sits at the intersection of interior artistry and master craftsmanship. Designed by internationally acclaimed Amsterdam-based designer Kate Hume — known for her singular sense of color, her work for high-net-worth private residences, and her reputation as a renowned glass artist — this vase is part of When Objects Work's curated collection of objects that are as much art as they are function.

Each piece is individually mouthblown by skilled artisans, resulting in a form that is never quite the same twice. The signature cracked glass surface — a complex, ice-like texture that refracts and plays with light — is the hallmark of Hume's glass work, and a technique that celebrates the unpredictability of the material rather than hiding it. The flat, organic silhouette with its gently imperfect edges carries the unmistakable touch of the human hand, making every vase a unique collector's piece.

Available in warm gold amber and deep brown, the Vase in Cracked Glass is designed to be grouped and displayed together — a nod to Hume's interior design philosophy of layering jewel-bright colour references drawn from nature. Whether placed on a sideboard, a console, or a dining table, it brings depth, warmth, and personality to any space.
