Designed as a juice set, the lower pitcher was intended for water, while the decanter stacked above it held concentrated juice. The individual components were available in different colours, allowing many contrasting combinations to be assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example brings together a smoke-grey pitcher and bottle-green decanter, crowned by a brilliant ruby-red ball stopper. The wonderfully evocative name refers to the colourful, bulbous onion domes associated with Moscow's Kremlin area, most famously those of St Basil's Cathedral on Red Square.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its extraordinary appearance, Kremlin Kellot was conceived as utility glass. Its ingenious stacking arrangement recalls laboratory and scientific glassware, an influence often seen in Franck's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKremlin Kellot was exhibited at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bie-paris.org\/site\/en\/1957-triennale-di-milano\" title=\"Learn more about the 11th Triennale di Milano, 1957\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethe 11th Milan Triennale\u003c\/a\u003e in 1957, where Franck received the Grand Prix, the highest award, for the design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuutajärvi Notsjö","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62702633681283,"sku":null,"price":2995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9331\/1702\/files\/profile-kaj-franck-kremin-bell-stacking-decanter-set-nuutajarvi-for-sale-uk.jpg?v=1790435992","url":"https:\/\/www.artandutility.co.uk\/products\/kaj-franck-kremlin-bells-decanter-pitcher-1","provider":"Art \u0026 Utility","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
