AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The vase is made entirely of glass and has an elongated, cylindrical shape that tapers slightly at the top. Inside, an intense, luminous red coloration dominates, reminiscent of molten, flowing lava. This red glass mass is enclosed within the clear glass shell that surrounds the object.
The outer, transparent glass area is irregularly shaped: several organically appearing bulges and swellings protrude from the smooth surface on the sides, making the overall appearance resemble an old tree trunk.
The surface is glossy and reflects light strongly, making bright reflections and light refractions visible in the background. The lower part of the vase is also clear, so that the colored core appears to rest as if floating in the glass.
Overall, the vase conveys a very sculptural and modern impression – a unique piece with a dynamic, flowing aesthetics that testify to the highest artistic and craftsmanship skills.
