2003 Art Glass "Ego" Vase by Karim Rashid for Mglass

Description

This piece comes in its original box & packaging, and has original holographic identifying sticker with designers name to ensure authenticity.

This gorgeous piece has all the mystery of a phantom in movement. Originally designed by Karim Rashid in 2003, named the "Ego" vase, possibly because it is in his image, produced by Mglass (Marinha Grande) of Portugal. It's haunting look is achieved by the idea of a continuous turning head or object and the design it makes as it spins. A substantial base with 1/2 inch thick glass. Half of the profile is frosted while the other is translucent glass.

An exceptional Y2K design piece for its innovative design.
