"Drops" Cactus Vase by Arik Levy for Verreum
"Drops" Cactus Vase by Arik Levy for Verreum
Designed by internationally acclaimed artist and designer Arik Levy for Czech glassmaker Verreum in 2012, the Drops Cactus Vase is one of the most distinctive contemporary glass designs of the last decades. Now discontinued, this rare piece has become increasingly sought after by collectors of modern design and art glass.
Inspired by the captivating sight of liquid mercury escaping from a broken thermometer, Levy transformed fleeting droplets into a sculptural object that appears almost weightless.
Both functional and sculptural, the Drops Vase is designed with a single opening, perfectly suited to display a small cactus, succulent or orchid. Equally compelling when left empty, it functions as a contemporary art object that continually changes with the light and environment around it.
Authentic Arik Levy design for Verreum - Original Drops Collection (2012) Hand-blown silvered glass Designed for one cactus, succulent or orchid Functions as both sculpture and vase Original Verreum metal label with Arik Levy signature Original branded presentation box included Handmade in Prague, Czech Republic
Care: As a hand-crafted glass object, this vase should be handled with care. Dust regularly using a feather duster. If required, wipe gently with a soft damp cloth before drying immediately with a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, paper towels or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the mirrored finish. Not dishwasher safe.

Arik Levy "Drops" Cactus Vase for Verreum | Rare Hand-Blown Silver Glass Designer Vase | Collector's Edition
A rare collector's piece.
Designed by internationally acclaimed artist and designer Arik Levy for Czech glassmaker Verreum in 2012, the Drops Cactus Vase is one of the most distinctive contemporary glass designs of the last decades. Now discontinued, this rare piece has become increasingly sought after by collectors of modern design and art glass.
Inspired by the captivating sight of liquid mercury escaping from a broken thermometer, Levy transformed fleeting droplets into a sculptural object that appears almost weightless. Its flawless mirror-like surface captures and reflects its surroundings, creating the illusion of liquid silver suspended in glass.
Both functional and sculptural, the Drops Vase is designed with a single opening, perfectly suited to display a small cactus, succulent or orchid. Equally compelling when left empty, it functions as a contemporary art object that continually changes with the light and environment around it.
Whether placed on a coffee table, console, bookshelf or desk, its reflective form brings depth, light and conversation to any contemporary interior.
Exceptional craftsmanship, each vase is individually hand-blown in Prague, Czech Republic, by master glassmakers.
Its signature mirrored finish is created using 99.99% pure silver, applied to the interior of the glass. This traditional silvering technique protects the reflective surface while creating extraordinary optical depth and luminous reflections.
Every example bears the original Verreum metal label on the base together with Arik Levy's printed signature and is presented in its original branded box.
