The vase on offer is best characterized by the author: “It’s strange that I’m struck with thoughts of connotations with weapons in connection with my work for Moser. Probably because weapons must be functional, exact, but at the same time they have a special esthetics, maybe due to a certain dangerousness and fear that they make you feel. With its weight, shine, and fragility, crystal evokes similar fears. The multi-vase Artillery belongs in this series.“
