ABOUT PRODUCTID 18450
This water carafe from the 1950s, crafted in the renowned glassworks of Kamenický Šenov in then-Czechoslovakia, is a distinctive example of mid-century modern style. Made from cool-toned transparent glass with a subtle blue or violet sheen, it features a gracefully elongated silhouette with a gently flared neck and proportionally curved sides. The glass has a smooth, glossy surface that reflects light with clarity. Its refined decoration consists of hand-painted vertical gold lines and elongated leaf motifs that run from neck to base, adding a sense of artistry and elevating the otherwise minimalist object. The design is free from handles or mounting hardware, focusing instead on the interplay of material purity and elegant embellishment. The gold decorations are well preserved, with only minor vintage signs of use typical of 1950s glassware and no visible damage.In its form, this carafe encapsulates the story of post-war Central Europe, an era where optimism and restraint in design worked hand in hand. Glass, as a democratic and transparent material, here tells a tale of clarity and respect for light, while the hand-applied gold decor adds a hint of decorative luxury—fragile yet dignified—bringing to mind family gatherings where such objects acted as quiet witnesses to everyday rituals. Each detail echoes the search for harmonious proportions and discrete refinement, characteristic of modernist ideals.The carafe could be displayed on a shelf or in a credenza alongside other mid-century modern pieces—complementing light oak veneer, matte porcelain, or deeply colored Murano glass. Its luminous character matches well with beige or orange textiles, highlighting the subtlety of its gold decoration, yet it can also hold its own as a solitary accent on a console or nightstand.
