floor vase KRUKENFORM

With the strictly limited-edition “Blue-Green Crystal Glaze,” the Berlin-based “ Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur ” brings a time-honored glazing technique into the present. In the manufactory’s in-house laboratory, Dr. Hamid Zadeh, head of the KPM laboratory and the body shop, has reimagined the art of crystal glazing—giving the iconic Krukenform, Halle 3, and Zwiebelform vases a unique luster. Through a complex development process, a lead-free glaze was created that builds on the foundations of the manufactory’s crystal glaze from 1898. “Every glaze is a small experiment—it depends on chance, temperature, and time,” explains Dr. Zadeh. The liquid glaze is applied by hand using a finely tuned spraying process. As it is applied, each piece develops a unique surface texture—no two objects are alike. The vases are then fired at around 1,300 degrees Celsius, and each piece becomes a dazzling one-of-a-kind creation. The vases, which shimmer in an iridescent blue-green, combine contemporary materials research with centuries-old craftsmanship, making them unique collector’s items and modern design objects. The Krukenform Floor Vase, Crystal Glaze Blue-Green Edition, is limited to 30 pieces.
