ABOUT PRODUCTID 13755
This tall, cylindrical vase was designed in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s by Vaclav Hanus and crafted from pressed glass. The cool, translucent light blue color features a notable gradient—intensifying at the base and gradually lightening towards the top. The exterior is richly textured with a molded pattern emulating tree bark: vertical grooves and irregularities give it an organic, tactile character, while the interior remains smooth. The glossy glass finish accentuates both clarity and depth, and the slender proportions allow the piece to function equally as a utilitarian vessel and a sculptural accent. The vase is preserved in very good condition, showing no visible signs of damage, cracks, or chips; no evidence of restoration is present.The form speaks to the narrative of Czechoslovak modernism—a translation of natural motifs into glass. Its bark-like texture conjures imagery of young birch trunks, with vertical rhythms evoking the tranquility of Central European landscapes. The vase reflects light with crystalline coolness yet presents an organic tactile impression, as if shaped from ice at the forest’s edge after a spring thaw. There’s a balance here between craftsmanship and natural inspiration; the object doesn’t overpower but rather maintains a quiet conversation with its surroundings.This vase pairs well with low consoles in pale wood or stands as a solitary accent against a white wall. It would harmonize in mid-century modern interiors, referencing classic organic themes, but also in pared-back, minimalist settings where the rugose texture of the glass provides visual depth. Positioned alongside softly hued ceramics or a single branch, the vase brings a sense of modernist freshness; it may also be grouped with other vintage glassware for a true collector's atmosphere.
