After the basic form is given, inspired by Turkish delight, glass pieces are cut in different shapes and combined with the body while it is hot. After the shaping process was completed, the cooling process was carried out and finally the mouth part was cut in a bias form. Since the mold is not used during the construction of the design, each production is handcrafted and unique.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The design measures 15 cm x 15 cm x 35 cm. Since it is a glass material, it is packed with bubble wrap and rigid foam.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Library and internet resources related to traditional glass forming methods and functional Turkish glass forms used in the past were searched. By evaluating the data obtained as a result of these researches, various sketches were drawn with the modern interpretation of the designer and the 'Delight' vase design was created.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of the Delight vase design has been more about marketing than the technical construction phase. The biggest obstacle is that a certain audience that likes and wants to buy is not used to a design that is both functional and very stylish. With a conventional perception, the prejudice has been encountered that a functional design should only be intended for use and that a very stylish design that goes beyond taboos should only be displayed on display shelves. These taboos have begun to collapse with the return of technology, the more inclusion of social media in life and the changing fashion perception.
