Ai Weiwei Coca-Cola Glass Vase, by LJCal on Oct 27, 2023 0:38:46 GMT 1, Selling off items from collections across various boards. Will update with a proper list. I have one of these that I purchased from the Design Museum. Please DM if interested with an offer. Based in the South of England. Thanks. If anyone is interested - will sell for £3k. London pick up. Thanks. Please DM
Selling off items from collections across various boards. Will update with a proper list. I have one of these that I purchased from the Design Museum. Please DM if interested with an offer. Based in the South of England. Thanks. If anyone is interested - will sell for £3k. London pick up. Thanks. Please DM Would have paid that a few weeks back when I first offered, but after having my offer used as a stalking horse not for me. Not the market to be holding silent auctions. I'll pay £2k for one of these now and judging by the number coming to market I won't have to wait too long to find someone looking to double their money. |

Ai Weiwei Coca-Cola Glass Vase, by stuff on Oct 27, 2023 16:43:06 GMT 1, You mean the orangeish color inside when looking inside? That's an interesting effect. If you place it under a lamp the light it casts onto the surface will probably still be red.

Ai Weiwei Coca-Cola Glass Vase, by King and a Duck on Nov 2, 2023 19:19:05 GMT 1, The best part about all the complaining on here is that I don’t imagine Avant Arte or Ai Weiwei will even consider making any more glass vases now.
God, look at it. Awful. Don’t make more, Ai. Just keep it to 300 really awful, definitely not desirable, shoddy Murano Glass vases.

Ai Weiwei Coca-Cola Glass Vase, by Masong on Nov 2, 2023 19:47:50 GMT 1, Can’t we just admit that these have been poorly made. Don’t get me wrong I really like them and would love one and I think they look great but whoever made them has done a pony job of it. If the artist had made them himself I would fully expect some imperfections. For the artist to get someone else to make them then say that the imperfections are part of it is just poor quality control. I’ve seen a lot cheaper glass made far better. Would I keep one if o had bought one yes but would I be a little disappointed yes.

I'd agree  . Apperently AA also wasnt that happy with the quality, otherwise they would have shipped as announced I suppose?

If you want a perfect glass vase with no imperfections then buy one out of Ikea for a tenner. If you want a piece of hand-blown Murano glass then expect imperfections...and a higher price tag.
The choice is yours.

I know id prefer one that was mint myself personally. I think it would bug me a little if mine had lines,scratches and bubbles when others are perfect. The way I see it if they can be made perfect they should be made perfect regardless of being hand made.

Hi Fuzzy! Did you look carefully???¿¿?? Did you also do the hammer test? You can also try some other metal tools! :-))))
It is a beautiful vase with or without imperfections such as Murano glass. Each one is unique, even if it is an edition of 300.
The Murano factory does not use a mold.
Best wishes to those who were lucky enough to buy it.

I didn't do the hammer test. But tried the ol' drop test.

Ai Weiwei Coca-Cola Glass Vase, by Acme Thunderer on Dec 9, 2023 10:31:05 GMT 1, After seeing laughable valuations over the last few months (from people trying to flip or position themselves to flip), this auction result should provide an indication of what people are really prepared to pay. Private sales should therefore be around £2k.
