ABOUT PRODUCTID 1822
This vase, designed by Jaroslav Beranek and produced in the renowned Skrdlovice glassworks in the 1960s, is an accomplished example of mid-century modern Czech art glass. Hand-formed from multicolored glass, it features a dominant, saturated amber-brown hue with high transparency, gradually lightening towards the solid, clear edge at the base. The surface showcases a glossy, mirror-like finish, while pronounced organic protuberances and undulating, asymmetrical forms create a sculptural, biomorphic presence. Measuring 22 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, the vase is heavy and thick-walled, with a precisely ground and signed base, emphasizing its authenticity and unique character. The condition is excellent—free from visible damage or restoration, with only minimal signs of age. The form of this vase evokes the spirit of the 1960s, a time when Czech glassworks such as Skrdlovice explored the boundaries of glass as a sculptural medium. Organic bulges and biomorphic lines lend the piece a sense of movement, as light travels across its surface, refracting in deep indentations and illuminating the amber tones. The vase seems to narrate the story of post-war Central Europe—a period where formal and technological innovation converged with a search for modern decorative expression. Every detail, from its massive silhouette to subtle tonal transitions, speaks to
