Massa Vítrea represents incandescent crystal. The blown form, a volume constructed and shaped by human gesture, conducts the material in its state of fluidity.

High temperature is the site of dialogue between Jacqueline Terpins and the crystal. In her process of creation, the designer allows the material to speak for itself, through the freedom granted by heat. The less the material is diverted from its natural trajectory, from its fluidity, the closer it comes to evoking emotion.

Dimensions: I - 34,5 x 12 x h26,5 cm | II - 29 x 11,5 x h20 cm

As a study in contrasts, Fugaz juxtaposes the weight of solid crystal with the ethereal presence of air. The opening in blown crystal—a breath captured—creates a subtle distortion, an echo of time shifting. Its rounded, almost floating form suggests ephemerality, a fleeting moment suspended in transparency. It occupies space yet remains light, reflecting the constant changes in its surroundings.

Material: Blown crystal
Dimensions: 24 x 19 x h41 cm

Quartzites and sandstones of different origins and ages merge into a grand mosaic. Erosion takes charge, sculpting depressions and curves of varying orders within the Serrano conglomerate.

Inspired by the characteristic landscape of the Lençóis Riverbed in Chapada Diamantina, Jacqueline Terpins creates the Serrano vase and centerpiece in crystal. She defies the paths naturally indicated by the incandescent material, shaping the piece with abrupt deviations of movement, resulting in deep recesses using steel tools. The weathering endured and recorded by the stones over time is represented by the craquelle glass technique that traverses part of the surface of the piece.

Igapó is one of the types of vegetation found in the Amazon rainforest and is characterized by flat lands along the Rio Negro, periodically flooded.
Due to the lack of nutrients in the water and soil that compose them, the igapó forests are configured as extremely fragile environments.
The Igapó vase, an intact body that breaks and tears, brings to the crystal the memory of the trunks that suffer from the action of the water and the natural scarcity of sandy terrains, flooded. A record of the low degree of resilience of this biome.

The Igarapé vase is inspired by the branches of the Rio Negro, which arise from the deep waters of this river and become shallow and capillary water courses that permeate the Amazon basin.
From Tupi, “ygara” (canoe) and "apé" (path), igarapé means “canoe path”. In its form that insinuates movement and points to a direction, the Igarapé vase is born from the reflection that in this structure, the path of water is the path of man. Here, man and nature are one, following the same path.

Launch year: 2015
Material: Blown crystal
Dimensions: I - Ø27 x h37 cm / II - Ø23 x h25,5 cm / III - Ø18 x h25 cm / IV - Ø16 x h20 cm

Jacqueline Terpins, when creating the Twist vase, shares with the observer the fluid state of the crystal as a material.
As the name says, a twist brings the aesthetic result that is expressed in the fluidity of the forms of a solidified piece. An object that has the movement and lightness of the incandescent crystal presents itself as a memory of the high temperature.

Launch year: 2011
Material: Blown crystal
Dimensions: I - Ø18 x h27 cm / II - Ø19 x h19 cm

In the Membrane Vase, layers are created through intermittent dips of the crystal mass harvested from the oven, in a surprising overlap of colors.
This technique of blown crystal, explored freely shows that when two colors establish an intersection between themselves they form a third color, welcome and unexpected. The movement and the time mark of the development of the piece are registered in it. The result: unique pieces in which there are subtle nuances of colors in full transformation.
