Vase by Rudolf Schröter for Sklo Union Elevate your space with this striking mid-century modern thick-walled pressed glass vase, masterfully designed by the legendary Rudolf Schröter for Sklo Union (Rosice Glassworks) in Czechoslovakia during the 1950s.
Known as the father of modern Czechoslovakian pressed glass, Schröter revolutionized the medium by celebrating the thick, massive, and honest qualities of molded glass rather than trying to replicate traditional cut crystal. This exceptional vase features a deeply embossed, high-relief geometric grid pattern that plays brilliantly with catching and refracting ambient light. Its brutalist yet highly refined silhouette boasts a massive weight, a flared top, a scalloped rim, and a sturdy, substantial base. A textbook example of post-war Bohemian glass artistry, this piece brings sculptural texture to any mantel, console, or art glass collection.
