ABOUT PRODUCTID 1823
This vase, designed by Jaroslav Beranek and crafted around 1960 at the Skrdlovice glassworks in the former Czechoslovakia, exemplifies hand-formed, multicolored art glass of the mid-century modern era. The sculptural body features pronounced vertical ridges and undulating contours, with a dominant translucent pale green shade subtly blending into warm amber and delicate pink highlights, especially visible near the base and along the rim. The glass is highly polished, giving the surface a glossy, almost liquid depth that enhances the interplay of colors. Its rim is irregular and artistically shaped, with rounded peaks and valleys, while the thick, finely ground base ensures stability. The vase measures 21 cm in height and 13 cm in diameter. Condition is excellent, with no signs of damage or wear. Within this piece resonates the voice of 1960s Central European modernism—a time when Czech glassworks ventured beyond tradition to experiment with form and color. The organic shape evokes the flowing movement of molten glass, as if frozen at the exact moment of artistic intuition. Subtle color gradations guide the eye along sculpted reliefs, while the irregular rim conjures images of waves or minerals shaped by nature. The vase tells a story of innovation and creative freedom, embodying an era when functional objects took on the stature of small works of art. It can be displayed on light wood or marble surfaces, where natural light will accentuate the glass’s colors and sheen. The vase works beautifully as a standalone piece on a mid-century modern console or grouped with other period vessels in eclectic, collector-oriented interiors. Pairing
