The 'Pineapple' vase, designed by Frantisek Koudelka for the Prachen glassworks in Czechoslovakia in the 1980s, is a bold example of decorative design from the late modernist era. Crafted from hand-formed and blown crystal glass, the vase features a sophisticated gradient: a clear, slightly yellow-tinted base flows into light green, culminating in a deep cobalt blue at the broad, flared rim. The surface is adorned with pronounced, hand-shaped bubbles, reminiscent of pineapple skin, while the high-gloss finish enhances the vibrancy and clarity of the colors. The rim is sculpted into six undulating petals, emphasizing the organic roots of the design and giving the piece a sculptural presence. The base is flat and carefully polished. The vase is in very good vintage condition, with no traces of wear, damage, or restoration.This vase tells the story of 1980s Czechoslovakia, when decorative glass became a medium for daring formal and chromatic experiments. Its form and hues evoke tropical vegetation and bring a sense of optimism and playfulness so characteristic of that decade's design. The hand-shaped surface acts as a record of the dialogue between craftsman and material—each protrusion, each shade of color bearing the mark of individual artistry, elevating the object to a near-jewelry status.The vase can be displayed on a light wood console or shelf in the living room, where natural light will highlight the color transitions and the play of surface relief. It works equally well in vintage-inspired collector interiors and eclectic spaces, paired with simple ceramics or contemporary graphics. It may be combined with other glass
