ABOUT PRODUCTID 32029
This pressed glass vase by Rudolf Schrotter for Sklo Union, made in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s, is crafted from clear, colorless glass with a cool, neutral tone and high transparency. Its most distinctive feature is a rhythmic arrangement of geometric, lens-like reliefs that repeat symmetrically across the body, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The oval, slightly tapered form is anchored by a substantial, square base (approx. 10 x 10 cm), making the vase both a decorative accent and a stable, functional vessel. The glossy, highly reflective surface emphasizes the clarity of the glass, while the pronounced, raised patterns add a sculptural dimension that is tangible to the touch. Measuring approximately 20 cm in height, the vase is suitable for displaying cut flowers, single stems, or as a standalone decorative object. The piece is preserved in excellent vintage condition, with no visible damage or chips, showing only minimal, age-appropriate signs of use. The form of this vase speaks in the voice of Central European mid-century avant-garde: at a time when glass became a sculptural medium, Rudolf Schrotter introduced a new, rhythmic discipline to its design. The pressed glass, cool and transparent, reflects light like a sheet of ice, while the lens motifs recall shimmering reflections on water. This object, with its geometric order, carries the spirit of the Sklo Union era—a period of optimism, experimentation, and the democratization of good design. The vase can be paired with minimalist or collectible accents from the 1950s and 1960s to highlight its historical pedigree. It will work well on an oak console, a low bookshelf, or surrounded by other vintage glass
