ABOUT PRODUCTID 14108
This mid-century modern vase, designed by Izi Suhajek in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, exemplifies the artistry of Eastern European glassmaking of its era. Crafted from thick, high-quality art glass, the piece features a layered color arrangement: a luminous, transparent yellow transitions smoothly to soft pink near the rim and fades into amber before culminating in a deep, encased purple-black accent at the base. Crystal-clear glass envelopes these hues, accentuating the elongated, organic silhouette and the vase’s flowing, sculptural proportions. The surface is flawlessly polished, with no visible seams or joints, attesting to masterful craftsmanship. Substantial, weighty glass gives the form presence, while the entire object remains free of chips, cracks, or restoration, reflecting an excellent state of preservation.This vase carries the optimistic spirit of the 1960s—a time when Czechoslovakian glass redefined domestic sculpture as a dialogue between light and color. Its fluid gradients evoke luminous mornings or ripened fruit basking in sunlight. The organic, effortless shapes and graceful balance embody the freedom with which designers of the era blended functional objects with subtle poetic sophistication. The vase seems to recount: “I am the echo of a decade when glass transformed into a lyrical presence within the home.”It could be displayed on an oak sideboard or marble console, where natural light accentuates its color transitions. This vase works well within both modernist and contemporary settings—serving as a focal point surrounded by neutral textiles or minimalist décor. It might be paired with a single, sculptural branch or left empty, allowing the interplay of glass and reflected light to unfold; metallic or ceramic accents nearby further highlight its vintage pedigree.
