ABOUT PRODUCTID 14053
This vase, produced in the 1950s by Huta Železný Brod in Czechoslovakia, is an art glass example from the mid-century modern era. Its organic, elongated form features sculptural, asymmetric 'wings', with a refined color gradation: a base of clear glass that gently fades into a warm muted pink towards the lower section. The smooth, high-gloss surface highlights the glass’s clarity, while the thickness at the base and protrusions intensifies the coloration, which subtly dissipates towards the slender neck. The construction reveals expert hand-blown craftsmanship, with precisely finished edges and a pristine, untouched surface. No visible signs of wear, chipping, or cracks – the vase is presented in excellent vintage condition with no evidence of restoration or repair.This vase reflects the spirit of 1950s modernity, a time when Czechoslovak design sought dynamic biomorphic forms and subtle color experimentation. Its shimmering transparency and soft pink hue create a dialogue between light and material, reminiscent of early-morning sunbeams in a modernist living space. The winged silhouette suggests movement and breath, as though the object itself echoes the search for new expressions so prominent in its era.The vase can be displayed alone on a console or low table, highlighting its sculptural qualities. It works as a central accent against a neutral backdrop, paired with books or period ceramics. It may be complemented by minimalist lighting and elements of chrome or differently colored glass, lending the whole arrangement extra depth and emphasizing the refined nostalgia of 1950s modernism. This piece fits beautifully into mid-century settings, as well as collector’s eclectic interiors that value subtle contrasts in texture.
