Azure Net Vase Irish Crystal

Height - 5 inches. 13 cm.

An "Azure Net Vase" refers to a specific type of vase that combines the color "azure" (a vibrant, deep blue) with a "net" design or pattern.

Here's a breakdown of what that generally means, especially in the context of Kinsale Crystal, which we are prominent manufacturer of such items:

• Azure: This refers to the color blue, often a rich, deep, or sky blue. In crystal, this color can be achieved by incorporating a layer of colored glass, or by using a specific tint in the clear crystal itself.  You will see across our page and store we at Kinsale Crystal specifically mention that our "coloured crystal" is given a layer of dye before cutting, which allows the cuts to sparkle with the color.

• Net Vase / Net Design: This refers to a specific cutting pattern or design on the vase that resembles a net or a grid. In fine crystal, this would involve intricate, intersecting cuts that create a textured, often geometric, pattern. This "net" pattern enhances the way light interacts with the crystal, creating sparkle and refraction.

• Kinsale Crystal's "Azure Net Vase":

  • As previously mentioned, We at Kinsale Crystal offer a "Pineapple Azure Net Vase" which combines their signature "Pineapple" deep-cut pattern with the azure blue color and a "net" quality to the design. They also list a more general "Azure Net Vase."
  • Their "Azure Net Vase" is 5 1/4 inches (13 cm) in height and is currently priced at €235.00 on our website.
  • Like all Kinsale Crystal products, it is mouth-blown, hand-cut, and 100% Irish, with a high lead content (33%) for brilliance. Each piece is also hand-signed "Kinsale."

The term most strongly points to the deep-cut crystal vases, particularly from Irish crystal makers, due to the prevalence of "net" patterns in traditional crystal cutting. Something we specialise in.
