ABOUT PRODUCTID 12720
This vase, produced in the 1950s by the Zelevzny Brod glassworks, exemplifies Czech Alexandrite glass in the mid-century modern style. The silhouette is asymmetrical and organic, featuring flowing, undulating lines with no applied ornamentation or patterns. The body, fully translucent and rendered in a pale, cool lilac-violet hue, shifts subtly under changing light, highlighting the material’s solidity and clarity. The highly polished, glossy surface enhances the sculptural quality, while the substantial base secures the vessel with weight and stability. Each edge and transition is softly rounded; the blown-glass technique ensures seamless, harmonious curves throughout. The vase is exceptionally well preserved, showing no signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This piece recalls the narrative of 1950s Czechoslovakian design, a time when modernity was expressed through organic, sculptural forms and refined glassmaking expertise. The vase appears as if frozen in motion—a solid wave of molten glass and light. Its color embodies both the technical experimentation of the era and an understated restraint: there is no overt decoration, only the interplay of material and light enriching its presence.It may be displayed alone on a light wooden sideboard, allowing the vessel's subtle Alexandrite hue to shine, or paired with milky or pastel ceramics for a deeper mid-century effect. The vase is at home in collector’s interiors, as well as minimalist or eclectic settings, where it can serve as a quiet focal point. Positioned against a dark background, its color and form become more pronounced, while a few single-stem flowers will reinforce its sense of airy lightness.No additional technical or care information is provided. This vase serves as a classic example of 1950s Czech artisan glass executed in the blown-glass technique.
