Karkadè Bucket Vase - Stories of Italy

Named for the hibiscus flower — *karkadè* in Italian — this Murano glass vase from Stories of Italy translates a sunset into glass. Deep amber shards, fused into an ivory crystal base through the Nougat technique, warm the surface like late-afternoon light on warm stone. The star-shaped rim lifts the familiar Bucket silhouette into something quietly distinctive.

Mouth-blown by master glassmakers in Murano, Venice, each piece begins as molten glass shaped on the pipe. The amber *scaglie* — glass shards — are pressed into the still-hot ivory base as the form takes shape; where they settle is never predetermined. It reads differently at every hour — sharper in morning light, warmer by evening.

At home on a console, a kitchen island, or a bedroom shelf, the Karkadè Bucket brings warmth that sits naturally alongside the timber, stone, and warm-metal palettes of contemporary Dubai interiors. Style it with the Leopardo Olla and Autumn Tall Vase for a layered warm-tone arrangement, or let a single stem do the rest.
