This geometric mid-century vase, crafted in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, is made of colored glass. The silhouette gently widens from a broad, softly rounded base, tapering upward to a subtly flared, circular mouth. Its main hue is an intense, cool azure blue, enhanced by a precise geometric motif—a grid of rectangles and squares surrounding the body. Alternating sections of matte and glossy glass create a dynamic checkerboard effect, with frosted and polished panes rhythmically arranged. There are no additional fittings or handles, which emphasizes the clarity of form and the technical artistry typical of 1960s Czech glassmaking. The surface is smooth and free of damage; there are no visible scratches, chips, or repairs. The piece is preserved in excellent, near-original condition, with no significant signs of use. The vase encapsulates the optimism and modernity of the 1960s, a period when Czech glass design resonated with the international language of mid-century modernism. The simple, well-proportioned form seems to hover between functional object and an exploration of light and geometric harmony. The luminous blue, paired with shifting zones of matte and glossy finish, evokes the impression of a morning light filtered through smooth glass—a static vessel that appears to pulse with a gentle brilliance, hinting at the artistic experimentation of its era. The vase may be displayed as a solo accent on a light wooden sideboard or within a collector’s cabinet, where its geometric pattern can interact with natural daylight. It would pair well with pale textiles or minimalist ceramics, as well as cool-toned metal décor, in keeping with the mid-century modern aesthetic. It can also be combined with other Czech glass pieces from the 1960s to create a collection that introduces a clear
