Playful, sculptural and full of personality, the Ichendorf Vegetables dome with dish brings a touch of theatricality to the table. Created by Alessandra Baldereschi, it belongs to the universe of table accessories and transforms everyday serving rituals into small, delightful moments. Inspired by the organic forms of onions and chili peppers, the dome turns simple ingredients into a miniature stage, where transparency and colour interact gently. When placed alongside decorative elements by Ichendorf, it enhances the table with a sense of lively elegance.

A functional sculpture shaped by hand

Crafted entirely from handmade and lampworked borosilicate glass, the Vegetables dome showcases the meticulous attention found throughout the Vegetables collection. Flame-working techniques sculpt the curves of the dome and dish with precision, creating an interplay of reflections that accentuate the hand-formed nature of the piece. Despite its delicate appearance, borosilicate glass ensures lightness and durability, making the dome practical for everyday table use. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures, it maintains its clarity over time while preserving the integrity of its finely shaped details.

A joyful homage to vegetable forms

The inspiration behind the dome lies in the playful transformation of onions and chili peppers into glass. The colours, the rounded silhouettes and the stylised stems evoke the freshness of the ingredients while giving them a surprising decorative presence. This subtle blend of humour and elegance is part of the Italian designer tableware language that Baldereschi expresses with ease: familiar forms reinterpreted in a way that feels spontaneous, poetic and engaging. Whether protecting small pastries, cheese portions or fruit bites, the dome elevates even the simplest food presentation.

Its transparency allows the content to become part of the composition, merging the food with the artistry of the glass. On a dinner table, the dome becomes an object of curiosity; on a sideboard, it functions as a decorative highlight that brings character to the room. Combined with Ichendorf Tumblers, Ichendorf Bottles or floral accents from other Ichendorf collections, it contributes to a table setting where different shapes and colours interact in harmony.

An expressive accent with everyday usefulness

While sculptural in appearance, the Vegetables dome with dish is created for real-life use. The stable dish and the lightweight dome make it easy to handle, while the borosilicate structure ensures strength and clarity. Its handmade qualities reveal small, charming variations that enrich the objects personality, turning each piece into a subtle one-of-a-kind creation. As a thoughtful gift, a decorative centrepiece or a functional cover for desserts, this vegetable glass dome blends creativity and craftsmanship in a way that feels both joyful and refined.

With its imaginative spirit and artisanal precision, this Ichendorf dome stands as a celebration of Alessandra Baldereschi’s unique approach: turning simple daily gestures into experiences filled with charm, colour and quiet beauty.
