This decorative glass form from Skroldowice is a notable example of Czechoslovak glass artistry from the late 1960s, created in the spirit of the Sklo Union modernist movement. Crafted from thick, clear glass, the object takes on an elongated teardrop shape, standing securely on a wide, flat base. Its interior bursts with saturated, multicolored confetti and bold color swirls, with vibrant reds, yellows, blues, greens, purples, pinks, blacks, and oranges. The 'crushed glass' technique lends an organic, three-dimensional depth to the otherwise polished and glossy surface, resulting in a dynamic arrangement of colors and inner textures. The glass is highly transparent, providing jewel-like clarity and refracting light with striking effect. Unique dispersion of the internal motifs further signals hand-crafted production. There are no visible signs of damage or prior restoration; the piece is preserved in excellent vintage condition.This form channels the psychedelic spirit of its era: a bold statement from the late 1960s, when Czechoslovakia's designers—despite certain limitations—pushed the boundaries of what glass could express. Each colorful inclusion seems to echo the era’s longing for imaginative freedom, with chance and control interacting in the compressed shapes beneath the surface. As light moves across the exterior, it creates a kaleidoscopic play of reflections, giving the piece a distinctly modern and forward-looking voice while recalling a tradition unafraid of experiment.The Skroldowice form could serve as a standout centerpiece in a collector’s display or as a statement object on a minimal console, where light can highlight its color saturation and depth. It suits contemporary interiors as well as those with mid-century modern sensibilities. To accentuate its organic and modernist qualities, it could be combined with neutral surfaces—such as light marble or patinated oak—or
