Like every artifact made of mouth-blown glass, MENHIR XXL comes from a glass ball, taken by the master glassmaker from the oven, at a temperature of 1,400 degrees centigrade. But it weighs 5 kg. and nothing at that moment, if not the confidence of its creator in its abilities, can say what it will become… It is an arduous undertaking, which requires strength, tenacity, experience and sensitivity, because what makes it unique and unrepeatable is that the glass ball of 30 cm. in diameter will become a vase of the height of about 60 cm. without the help of a mold, only thanks to the work of a human being, and there is no machine in the world that could replace so much portentous. For this reason, no piece can ever be the same as the other, because it brings with it the fantastic imprecision and unpredictability of the handmade object from the beginning to the end. MENHIR XL was produced in 1983. Today, IVV has decided to put it back into production in a limited edition, producing 150 numbered pieces per color.
