This vase, designed by Jaroslav Beranek for the Skrdlovice glassworks, exemplifies Czechoslovak art glass from the 1960s, hand-formed from multicolored glass. Measuring 16.5 cm in height and 10 cm in both width and depth, the piece stands out with its robust, organic silhouette, where deep blue transitions smoothly into turquoise and a clear, transparent base.

The vase can be paired with a low, dark wood sideboard or a minimalist table, where the contrast will highlight its sculptural reliefs. It works well in living rooms inspired by mid-century modern style, as well as in eclectic collector's spaces, alongside ceramics or metalwork from the same era.

The art glass, with its glossy finish and substantial thickness, requires no specialized care—gentle washing and avoiding contact with sharp objects will suffice. The hand-pol
