The piece is frequently attributed to the renowned glass designer Géza Takács.
Crafted from high-quality, smoke-brown (topaz) tinted glass, the vase features a distinctive "hántolt" or lens-cut technique. The surface is decorated with meticulously polished, overlapping circular "lenses" that create a mesmerizing Op-Art visual effect. These cuts play with light and transparency, giving the vase a dynamic, sculptural presence.
Its minimalist cylindrical form combined with the intricate hand-cut decoration makes it a perfect statement piece for any modernist or eclectic interior. See less
