Up until recently, all attempts of making porcelain of a monumental dimension like this had been in vain. The artist Alim Pasht-Han together with the Porzellanmanufaktur Reichenbach have now been successful. For the development of the construction he geared himself to the principle of a horsetail.

The unique, self-supporting construction consists of 360 honeycomb structures moulded from porcelain that are additionally supported on the inside walls. Ten staff members of the Porzellanmanufaktur Reichenbach contributed to the manufacturing of the individual honeycomb shapes that were finally hand painted in cobalt-blue and highlighted in gold.

The artist himself puzzled out this unique construction and painted every honeycomb shape manually using an intricate procedure: the north-Caucasian-born Alim Pasht-Han (*1972) has not only put an outstanding large-scale project of craftsmanship into practice but has also set new benchmarks: never before has anyone achieved to accomplish a vase of this dimension.
