This glass vase, designed by Jiří Řepásek for Poděbrady, is a fine exemplar of Czechoslovak mid-century modernism from the 1960s. Made from transparent soda glass and crafted using a pressed-glass technique, it features a geometric, lens-cut pattern. The cylindrical body showcases elongated diamond and prismatic motifs, created by the interplay of vertical and diagonal lines in a deeply sculpted relief. The silhouette gently tapers toward the base and flares at the top, with a subtly rippled rim echoing the rhythm of the vertical cuts. The surface is smooth yet tactile, with sharp embossed details, while the thick glass walls and solid, weighty base combine visual lightness with strength. The vase remains in excellent condition, showing only minimal, nearly imperceptible traces of use. This piece narrates the functional optimism of the 1960s: its geometric form embodies an era that sought modern, approachable solutions for everyday living. The dynamic play of light across the surface channels a time when even ordinary objects aspired to deliver visual pleasure. Its transparency evokes the clarity of thought and design celebrated by Sklo Union; the vase seems to invite light to dance over its reliefs, turning any room into a quiet stage of reflections. Such a vase may be positioned as a solo accent atop a pale-wood sideboard, where its pressed-glass texture draws the gaze. It pairs well with other mid-century
