ABOUT PRODUCTID 1914
This vase, designed by Hana Machovska for the Mstišov glassworks in Nový Bor, exemplifies Czechoslovakian art glass of the 1960s, notable for its modernist aesthetic and artisanal craftsmanship. The tall, slender, and slightly asymmetrical cylindrical form features rounded edges and a smooth, polished surface, all shaped by hand from multicolored glass. Transparent glass serves as the primary backdrop, enlivened by subtle gradients of blue, green, and amber at the top, and a striking amber-orange swirl encapsulated at the base, giving depth and contrast. The glass is thick and weighty, with a ground base underscoring the quality of its execution. The vase remains in very good condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear. The form of this vessel speaks to the optimism and experimentation of the 1960s, an era when glass became a medium for color and light. Its gentle asymmetry and soft lines reflect modernist ideals of harmony, while the embedded hues evoke a moment captured in motion, as though the vase has preserved the shimmer of light and color within. It seems to whisper of the creative freedom of its time and the patience of the artisan who guided each color to flow organically through the glass. This vase works well as a standalone accent on an oak console or among other mid-century glass objects. It can be paired with minimalist ceramics, metallic accessories, or matte artwork to highlight its transparency and interplay of colors. Interiors inspired by mid-century modern, eclectic collections, or bright living spaces with ample natural light will allow its sculptural qualities to shine, especially as light emphasizes the embedded colors.
