ABOUT PRODUCTID 36740
This crystal vase from Kamenický Šenov is a striking example of 1960s Czech design in the 'New Look' style. The hourglass-shaped body combines an intensely black, glossy surface with a base of transparent, faceted crystal, creating an interplay of visual lightness and depth. The upper section is adorned with gilded, geometric-botanical motifs—stylized leaves and berries—complemented by white, matte accents precisely etched into the glass. The wide, flared rim and narrow waist emphasize the modernist character, and the entire piece boasts a polished, high-gloss finish. All decorative elements and gilding remain fully original, with no signs of restoration or damage. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with the glass surface free from chips or scratches.This vase tells the story of Central European modernism in the 1960s, when bold contrasts and the nobility of materials elevated everyday objects to new heights. Black and gold meet here as two facets of the era: one of daring form and brilliance, the other of subtle play between light and faceted details. Every decorative accent speaks in the language of a time when applied arts became a manifestation of aesthetic aspiration and postwar optimism.The vase can serve as a solo accent on a light wood sideboard or a mid-century modern console. It may be paired with minimalist ceramics, transparent glass, or a metal sculpture to highlight its geometric line. Interiors in
