“A vase is a vessel that existed since Antiquities. The style, size and decoration demonstrated the level of a civilisation & its level of affluence. It also told their stories through surface illustrations and decoration.
In the modern world we all own a few vases and constantly collect more, it is part of our unconscious desire to collect and display. A vase is always on display whether it is full or empty and for this reason a vase is a very personal choice and taste.
A vase tells the personality of the owner.
To me a vase is symbol of life and positive vibes, simply because it is mostly used for flowers which represent nature, colour and beauty. However when a vase is not in use it should be equally appreciated for its shape and design.
The life of the vase is more determined the owner than the maker!”

“Vases are very archaic containers of something we want to represent. Found in many archeological sites as well as in shipwrecks all over the world. It became also a message send from one side of the planet to the other. When Marco Polo brought a 10 centimeter white vase with floral motifs to Venice from China it was explaining a lot more of his adventure than words. Still part of the treasures of San Marco Cathedral it started the fashion of porcelain on the old continent. Federico I de' Medici started to manufacture and Dutch as Portuguese merchants imported from Asia these objects of desire. Vases can be conceived in many different materials. Each piece has his own soul. Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi princess of Lucca and Piombino, sister of Napoleon made one of the biggest disasters to Etruscan vases, by destroying thousands of those considered of lower value. All of us understand things in a different way, but the most important one is the relation one has with his own vase collection. From primitive vases to the ones of Ettore Sottsass and others, very special visions where created and we trace infinitive possibilities of expressions. I think of my vases also as an urne where to keep my ashes before thrown in the wind. In a very specific way there is something holy in collecting them and to consider them as one of your most attractive expression of life. I know people that own thousand of different vases of pressed glass, others that are just after Chinese Ming pieces, but everyone has his own interpretation. This is the beauty of a useful item with a very strong poetry.”

“Váza reprezentuje ženskou esenci. Zabydluje prostor. Tvoří domov. Má ladné křivky, přesto je pevná. Objímá svůj obsah. Vymezuje jeho tvar. Je krásná i funkční. Dělá z domu domov.
Spojuje prostor vně a uvnitř. Definuje jednotlivce i celou kulturu. Je odrazem společnosti, stejně jako architektura.
Váza- od slova vázat, navazovat. Podstata ženské esence- navazovat vztahy, vázat, tkát sociální vazby ve společnosti.
Bonsai/ Ikebana Vhodná váza dotváří celek k dokonalosti. Nevyvyšuje se nad květinu. Podtrhuje její krásu. Společně povyšují celek na umění.
Váza přijímá, uchovává… znázorňuje jinový princip.
Kde je váza, tam je péče. Kde je péče, tam je cit…”
