ABOUT PRODUCTID 12578
This Alexandrite glass carafe, made by Huta Železný Brod in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s, represents mid-century modern at its most distilled. Crafted from hand-blown glass with thick, substantial walls, it displays a minimalist profile: softly rounded shoulders transition into a flattened oval body that gently narrows towards a broad, stable base. The surface is impeccably smooth, without decoration, handles, or visible seams, expressing a clarity of purpose and material. The key visual note is the pale lavender-blue hue characteristic of Alexandrite glass — a color that shifts delicately under different lighting conditions, with shades of lavender and blue alternately dominant in daylight or artificial light. Its mirror-like gloss highlights the high level of craftsmanship. The condition is very good — no traces of use, cracks, or scratches are visible; the glass has retained its original clarity and shine, with no evidence of repairs or restoration.The carafe quietly tells the story of postwar optimism in Czechoslovakia, when glassmaking became an art form as much as a utility. Its restrained form reflects a longing for harmony: the organic contour alluding to the era's appreciation of the natural, while geometric discipline ensures a sense of balance. The subtle glow of the Alexandrite — variable like the atmosphere of a room — evokes the ambiance of 1950s salons, where every detail was intentional and the play of light shaped the experience of space.The carafe can be displayed on a low sideboard in dark wood or on an oak buffet, where
