ABOUT PRODUCTID 12734
Handcrafted in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, this mid-century modern fish sculpture represents a refined example of vintage Czech glass artistry. Formed from a single piece of blown and colored glass, it features a milky, slightly cool white base with elegant translucence, contrasted by bold, swirling bands of deep burgundy and rich teal-green running dynamically along the body. The fins and tail are crafted from clear glass, delicately ribbed to enhance texture, seamlessly attached and free from visible seams or flaws. Minimalist detailing, including a small, precisely rendered blue-and-black eye and a pronounced elongated silhouette, grounds the sculpture firmly in mid-century abstraction. The piece stands sturdily on two transparent glass 'fins,' each flawlessly executed. The surface is glossy and highly polished, reflecting light beautifully, and overall the condition is excellent: there are no visible scratches, chips, or repairs, and the piece retains its original brilliance.This object tells a story of the Czech school of glasswork, a period in the 1960s marked by creative boldness and an embrace of organic abstraction. The elongated fish form, swept with lively bands of color, evokes a sense of motion—as though the fish were captured mid-swim through the artisan’s vision. Organic, woodgrain-like striations are reminiscent of waves or natural wood, blurring the line between the aquatic and the abstract. Clear, sculpted fins subtly catch the light, enhancing the overall lightness despite the object's solid glass construction.The sculpture would find its place on a console in a contemporary living room or
