ABOUT PRODUCTID 226
The 'Optical' 914 vase, designed by Rudolf Schrötter for Sklo Union Rosice in Czechoslovakia during the 1950s, is made of thick, pressed glass tinted in a saturated turquoise blue. Its surface features a distinctive geometric pattern of oval lenses, achieved through precise molding techniques. The vase has a solid, stable base and a slightly tapering cylindrical form, with highly polished glass that reflects light and enhances the optical effect, giving the piece a luminous quality characteristic of mid-century modern design. Details such as the clarity of the glass, the sharpness of the pattern, and the substantial wall thickness testify to expert craftsmanship. The vase is preserved in very good original condition, with no chips or scratches.This vase speaks in the language of the 1950s, when glass became a field for experimenting with light, texture, and color. Its rhythmic lens motif evokes an era in which designers explored the dialogue between geometry and the sensuality of material. The turquoise hue deepens and comes alive in natural daylight, as if the vase continues to seek conversation with its surroundings—inviting one to view everyday life through the prism of optical illusions and gentle modernity.The vase can be placed on a light shelf or windowsill in a living room to highlight its luminous color and graphic pattern. It pairs well with other glass or ceramic vessels from the same era, especially those with matte surfaces that emphasize the glass's sheen. It works as a standalone accent in a minimalist mid-century modern interior, but also fits into more eclectic arrangements where various textures and tones of glass interact.No additional technical information from the manufacturer.
