Designed by Hana Mahanovska for Huta Mstisov in 1960s Czechoslovakia, this vase embodies mid-century modern exploration in art glass. Hand-formed, it presents a teardrop, organic silhouette topped with a gently flared, asymmetrical rim. From one side, light passes through cool, translucent blue; from the other, it reveals vivid green – both hues enveloping a striking core of amber-orange glass. The interplay of colors creates a rich gradient, emphasizing the depth and layered structure unique to this technique. The surface is finished to a flawless, high gloss: perfectly smooth and mirror-bright, accentuating the refraction and clarity of the piece. No decorative patterns interrupt the glass – only the fluid, organic movement of color, in line with mid-century modernist aesthetics. The vase’s substantive weight, thick base, and clarity are all characteristic of period Bohemian studio glass. Preserved in excellent, original condition, there are no visible chips, cracks, scratches, or repairs.This vase might speak of the 1960s as an era of bold color and organic freedom. Glass here serves as a quietly expressive record of modernist optimism, suspending a sunlit moment within its core – as though time in this object moves at its own, tranquil pace, inviting contemplation of craft, color, and form. The polished surface catches and reflects the room, becoming both canvas and mirror of its epoch, offering transparent honesty in every contour.The vase can be displayed as a sculptural centrepiece atop a wooden console in the living room, with its vivid hues lending contrast to a neutral or softly textured backdrop. Consider pairing it with transparent ceramics,
