The piece showcases Beránek's characteristic interest in sculptural, organic glass forms. Its elongated low profile is constructed from substantial transparent glass with beautifully layered olive, yellow-green and clear tones, creating a fluid swirling effect throughout the body. The thick glass walls and organically undulating contours give the bowl a highly sculptural presence. Its appearance changes with the light, revealing different depths of green and transparent glass within the flowing pattern. An outstanding example of Czechoslovak mid-century art glass, suitable for a private collection or as a sculptural centerpiece in a sophisticated interior.
