Tiger Hibiscus Glass Vase
A collaboration between Duncan McClellan & Gillian Probert
This captivating glass vase is born from the hands and vision of two artists in harmony — glassblower Duncan McClellan and glass illustrator Gillian Probert. Shaped by fire and layered with color, the vessel was masterfully handblown by McClellan and his team. Onto this vibrant canvas, Probert carves her intricate original design.
The Tiger Hibiscus Vase explores themes of protection, beauty, and duality. The tiger, often misread as angry, is in fact a guardian — shielding the delicate flower it has nurtured. The hibiscus, feminine and radiant, symbolizes growth and vulnerability, while also concealing a hidden eye within its petals. This double imagery plays with perception, inviting viewers to look closer and question what they see.
