ABOUT PRODUCTID 3702
This crystal vase from the Kamenycky Senov glassworks is a distinctive example of 1960s Czech design in the 'New Look' style. Crafted from layered crystal glass, it juxtaposes a high-gloss, jet-black surface with a clear, faceted crystal base, creating a striking sense of depth and visual lightness. The upper section is adorned with gilded geometric and botanical motifs—stylized leaves and berries—enhanced by precise, matte white cutwork in the glass. The vase features an hourglass silhouette, with a wide, flared rim and a cinched waist, echoing the characteristic proportions of mid-century modernism. The entire surface is polished to a high sheen, and all decorative elements, including the gilding, remain fully original with no evidence of restoration or damage. The piece is in excellent condition; the glass is free from chips and scratches. This vase tells the story of Central European modernism in the 1960s, when bold contrasts and luxurious materials elevated everyday objects to the realm of art. Black and gold meet here as two sides of the era: on one hand, the daring form and brilliance; on the other, the subtle play of light across faceted surfaces. Each decorative detail echoes the spirit of a time when
