ABOUT PRODUCTID 41475
This vase, crafted from high-quality crystal glass and designed by Olivia Ladislav in 1963 for Exbor in Nový Bor, Czech Republic, embodies modernist ideals in both form and color. The cylindrical, elongated silhouette stands 25 cm tall with a 9 cm diameter, maintaining a geometric purity throughout. Its deep cobalt blue hue dominates the composition, lending a cool, saturated tone to the piece. The vase is hand-formed and finished with a high-gloss polish, free from additional colors or decorative motifs—its minimalist character is emphasized by precise craftsmanship, seamless transitions, and a subtly thickened base for stability. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration; the overall condition is excellent and true to the original.This piece speaks with the voice of 1960s Czech modernism, an era when glass artistry embraced experimentation and the pursuit of pure form. The cobalt blue recalls northern lakes under a pale sky, while the restrained silhouette reflects reverence for material and light. Within the polished surface lies the era’s discipline and clarity—a quiet statement about simplicity, transparency, and the elegant order that defined postwar Central European design.The vase can be paired with pale marble, a wooden console, or a minimalist shelving system, where its deep blue becomes a striking accent. It works equally well as a standalone piece or alongside other mid-century modern glassware or rough-textured ceramics. In a contemporary living room, set against neutral walls and natural textiles, it highlights the interplay of light and color, while a single branch or flower will accentuate its sculptural quality without disturbing its minimalist ethos.
