This modernist vase, designed by Odrich Lipsky in 1962 for the Exbor glassworks in Nový Bor, exemplifies the artistry of Czech glassmaking in the 1960s. Crafted from high-quality, mass-colored crystal glass, the vase features a vibrant magenta-pink core surrounded by a deep, cool cobalt blue layer. The finish is glossy and highly polished, giving the piece a luminous, mirror-like quality. The surface is smooth to the touch, with a distinctive wavy cut that creates a rhythmic, undulating texture along the sides. Its geometric, symmetrical silhouette—with pronounced vertical proportions and repeating, scalloped contours—emphasizes its sculptural presence. The thick, faceted base provides stability and echoes the overall design. The vase is preserved in very good original condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This form carries the spirit of its era: the 1960s in Central Europe were marked by a fascination with color and light as tools of modernist expression. Lipsky's vase not only refracts light into vibrant bands of magenta and cobalt but also tells a story of creative boldness—a search for harmony between strict geometry and organic, wavy rhythm. Each scalloped edge and gleaming facet is an echo of a time when glass was a medium of modernity, not merely an ornament.The vase can be showcased solo on a pale wood or marble console to highlight its depth of color and interplay of light and shadow.
