The 'Beryl' crystal centerpiece, designed by Irena Pastrankowa for the renowned Czech glassworks Moser in 1928, is a striking example of late Art Deco in functional glassware. Crafted from thick, high-quality crystal in a deep olive-green hue with a subtle yellowish undertone, the bowl features a wide, flared form with sharply angled sides and a relatively shallow basin. Its highly polished, glossy surface accentuates the depth and brilliance of the material, while the signature 'Beryl' series design is defined by dense, vertical cuts and geometric faceting—creating a rhythmic composition of elongated panels and rounded, lens-like motifs. The proportions are harmonious and balanced, with every detail evidencing precise craftsmanship and a devotion to symmetry. The piece is preserved in very good condition, free of damage, with its original finish and detailing intact.This centerpiece echoes the spirit of the 1920s—a time when artisanal skill embraced modernist boldness. The heavy, transparent crystal speaks of luxury and confident design: geometric cuts capture and refract light, casting patterns of reflections and shadows across the table, while the cool olive tone evokes the refined interiors of Central European salons and artistic cafés. The object seems to invite celebration of the everyday, transforming the simple act of serving into a subtle ritual.The 'Beryl' bowl would serve as a focal point on an oak dining table or sideboard, where it can be paired with matte ceramics, silver
