ABOUT PRODUCTID 41576
This paperweight from Czechoslovakia captivates with its irregularly hewn, organic form, accentuated by hand-crafted sommerso glasswork. At its core, a vivid amber-yellow nucleus is enveloped by a thick, transparent glass shell and a darker amber band, creating a striking, layered composition. The surface is glossy and highly polished, reminiscent of a finely cut gemstone. Smooth textures intermingle with gentle, asymmetrical undulations, a hallmark of artisanal craftsmanship. The object is formed as a single solid piece, with no visible seams or joints. The interplay of yellow and brown tones evokes the modernist aesthetic typical of Czechoslovakian art glass from the 1960s and 1970s. It remains in excellent condition, with only minor air bubbles visible inside the glass—a testament to its hand-blown origins.This paperweight speaks in the voice of Central European modernism: its form appears as a frozen gesture of the artisan, imparting a distinctive rhythm to the glass. The sommerso technique allows light to penetrate through its layers, illuminating the interior with a golden glow. It is an object that, like a fragment of amber drawn from a river’s current, tells a story of experimentation with color and light so characteristic of 1970s Czechoslovakian design. The organic asymmetry and subtle color play ensure each piece is unique.It can be displayed on a desk, console, or shelf in the living room, serving both as a functional detail and a collectible accent. It pairs well with mid-century modern-inspired furniture and accessories, but also suits
