Bokaal met een bosgezicht met drie herten c. 1920 - 1940

This Bokaal with a forest scene, featuring three deer, was produced by the Gebrüder Lorenz, those glass-working brothers. Imagine those deer emerging from the glass itself, conjured from the fiery furnace where this piece came into being. It's fascinating to think about how these brothers must have collaborated, each knowing their part in this dance with molten glass. Maybe one was the visionary, sketching out the design, while the other was the craftsman, manipulating the material with heat and breath. I can imagine them passing the piece between them, tweaking and refining until those deer seemed to breathe and move within their forest. Look at how the light catches the glass, giving depth to the scene, almost as if you could step inside and wander among the trees with those graceful creatures. This Bokaal reminds me of all the ways artists continue to inspire each other across time. The Lorenz brothers surely would be in conversation with other glassmakers who came before. It is such a conversation, this continuous exchange of ideas. It seems as they are blowing life into the glass.
