This is the second kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm tall, the Papageno Peppe is first and foremost a presence. The body is a hand-blown teal glass vase — a generous ovoid form, clear and luminous, with the characteristic slight tonal variation that only comes from hand blowing rather than mould production. It holds light in the way coloured glass does: transmitting it, shifting it, making the surface around it different from what it would be otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stopper is where the piece becomes something else entirely. A sculpted bird head in amber-orange glass, with a pointed white beak, a large eye rendered in murrine — concentric rings of white and deep pink around a dark iris — and a crown of five cobalt blue spikes rising from the top of the skull. The head sits on a natural wood collar that seals the vase body below. The combination of materials — blown glass body, sculpted glass head, wood collar — and the combination of tones — teal, amber, cobalt, pink, white — is both technically accomplished and genuinely strange in the best sense: playful and precise at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeonardo is a German glassware house with a long history of producing art glass objects that occupy the space between craft and sculpture. The Papageno series — named for the bird-catcher of Mozart's Magic Flute — is among their most distinctive work. This piece is in perfect condition. It is not a common find at this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × Leonardo Papageno Peppe glass sculpture — vase with bird head stopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leonardo, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Papageno Peppe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-blown art glass body; sculpted glass stopper with murrine eye detail; natural wood collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 cm \/ 17.7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 cm \/ 7.1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teal body; amber-orange bird head; white beak; pink and white murrine eye; cobalt blue crown spikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect — no chips, cracks, or damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-of-a-kind vintage piece; no restock possible once sold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt 45cm this needs a surface where it can be seen at close to eye level — a console, a low shelf, a sideboard — rather than placed high where the stopper detail is lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe teal body connects directly to the Kjell Engman Bon Bon vase and the Filippa candlestick in teal — placed in the same room, the three pieces share a colour thread that reads as curated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cobalt blue crown connects to the Royal Caribbean Kosta Boda coupe glasses — another thread across the collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks in maximalist, eclectic, and global-artisan interiors; also works as the single unexpected object in an otherwise restrained room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Papageno reference — Mozart's bird-catcher from The Magic Flute — gives this a cultural depth worth mentioning when guests ask about it, and they will ask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe body with a soft dry or very slightly damp cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle the stopper separately when cleaning — the wood collar is a distinct component and should not be soaked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not submerge — the wood collar joint should not be exposed to water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep away from direct sustained sunlight to preserve the teal glass tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle with care and always support from the base — at 45cm this is a substantial and front-heavy object\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay only — not suitable for use as a functional decanter or vase with water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart of The Home Edit — Boutique Kaotique's edit of handcrafted homeware sourced from artisans worldwide.
