ABOUT PRODUCTID 4593
This vase, designed by Ladislav Paleček and produced by the Škrdlovice glassworks in 1960s Czechoslovakia, is a prime example of hand-formed, layered glass. Its slender, cylindrical silhouette transitions from a smooth amber upper section to a striking olive green base, richly textured with raised, teardrop-shaped elements reminiscent of a pinecone. The fluid color shift and the substantial thickness of the glass lend the piece a sculptural quality, consistent with mid-century modern aesthetics. The polished, ground base and preserved original manufacturer's sticker attest to the vase’s authenticity. The vase remains in excellent condition, with no damage, chips, or cracks. The form of this vase tells a visual story of Czechoslovakian modernism: the glass seems to pulse with its own rhythm, while the organic, pinecone-inspired relief echoes the natural world—a central theme for Škrdlovice artists in the 1960s. Warm amber and vivid green interact like sunlight filtering through foliage, evoking both botanical inspiration and the postwar search for harmony in everyday living. This vase quietly narrates tales of experimentation with color and texture, elevating glass beyond mere utility. The vase could be paired with raw wood or minimalist ceramics to highlight its organic shape. It works as a statement piece on a mid-century modern sideboard or as part of a curated art glass collection on a shelf. Combining it with earth-toned textiles or muted orange accents can enhance the depth of its green and amber hues, while a single branch or leaf will underscore its botanical inspiration.
