Made of blown glass, this vase captivates with its free and fluid silhouette, typical of modernist creations developed in Bohemian workshops. Its design evokes a form in motion, almost liquid, with an asymmetrical opening that accentuates its sculptural character and uniqueness.

The interlayered decoration in shades of turquoise and deep blue creates a fascinating interplay of transparency and layering. Light passes through the material and reveals the full chromatic depth of the glass, in a style reminiscent of the great productions of Železnobrodské Sklo (ZBS), an iconic manufacturer in the region, renowned for its organic and experimental vases.

with its free-flowing aesthetic and textural effects, this piece follows in the footsteps of designers such as Miloslav Klinger and František Zemek, known for their organic forms and explorations of hot-blown colored glass. Both decorative and sculptural, this vase is a striking example of Central European glass design, ideal for a contemporary, modernist, or collector's interior.

Excellent condition, no chips or major scratches. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
