This heart-shaped vase from 1950s Czechoslovakia exemplifies mid-century modern design, crafted from two types of glass: a vibrant, glossy red for the main body and opaque, high-gloss black for the stem and base. The heart-shaped bowl sits atop a slender stem and broad, stable foot, with harmonious proportions and a striking contrast between the deep red and jet black elements. The piece reflects the era’s signature aesthetic—clean lines, bold color juxtapositions, and playful, organic forms. The transition between the red and black glass is seamless, and the surfaces retain their original luster and clarity. Intended for small bouquets or floral arrangements, the vase is a decorative yet functional accent. It remains in excellent condition, free from chips, cracks, or evidence of restoration. The vase’s form tells a story of postwar optimism and an embrace of new expressive means typical of 1950s Central Europe. The red glass, pulsating like a heart, draws the eye and evokes a sense of joie de vivre, while the black base introduces a grounding note of balance and stability. This compact object speaks of the desire for beauty in everyday surroundings, of playful form that—despite its simplicity—captures attention. The vase seems to whisper of an era when design was intended to be both approachable and bold. This vase would fit naturally in a mid-century modern or eclectic collector’s interior. It can be paired with light-toned sideboards, wooden tables, or minimalist shelving, where the intense red glass serves as a vivid color accent. It works well as a standalone statement piece or alongside other vintage glassware or ceramics with simplified shapes. Combining it with a few wildflowers or a single branch is a
