This artistic glass vase, designed by Karel Wunsch for Skrdlovice in 1976, exemplifies Czechoslovakian modernist glass from the 1970s.

Its coloration transitions from a deep amber base to clear glass towards the top, creating a natural gradient and subtle play of light. The surface is highly polished and glossy, while the bottom is carefully ground flat. There are no additional decorative motifs or colors—the form and interplay of light serve as the main ornamentation. The construction is seamless, with no visible joints, and the rim remains irregular, emphasizing the individuality of handcrafting. The overall condition is very good, with no damage or visible signs of wear.This vase tells the story of the 1970s—a period when Czech glassmakers explored organic shapes and nuanced color gradients as new means of artistic expression.

This piece, like a silent witness to its era, merges functional art with the fascination for the natural dynamism of materials.In interior arrangements, the vase may be paired with furniture featuring strong mid-century modern lines or set against neutral walls to highlight its shape and hue. It performs well as a standalone accent on a wooden console, or alongside other vintage glass objects to create a small collection of sculptural
