In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of dawn and dusk—always looking in two directions at once. It is this dual nature that Bertil Vallien has returned to again and again since the mid-1990s. In the sand-cast head Janus, one half is awake while the other sleeps—not as a contradiction, but as a conversation, an ongoing dialogue between two states. Janus is produced in Kosta in a limited edition of 100 pieces and is mounted on a granite base.

Product Information

In Roman mythology, Janus was the god of dawn and dusk—always looking in two directions at once. It is this dual nature that Bertil Vallien has returned to again and again since the mid-1990s. In the sand-cast head Janus, one half is awake while the other sleeps—not as a contradiction, but as a conversation, an ongoing dialogue between two states. Sand casting is the technique Vallien has long made his own—raw, poetic, far from the polished elegance of crystal. In Janus, the glass carries something quiet and enigmatic, much like the myth from which it is drawn. Janus is produced in Kosta in a limited edition of 100 pieces and is mounted on a granite base.

Master of Sand Casting

Bertil Vallien

Bertil Vallien (born in 1938) is an artist who needs no further introduction for anyone who loves the beauty and mystery of glass. During his 60-year career, Vallien has become renowned among glass enthusiasts, primarily for his sand-cast sculptures and especially his world-famous glass ships. “From the very first moment, I was captivated by the seductive properties of glass. I have dedicated my entire life as an artist to exploring and pushing the limits of this material.”
