This vintage art glass vase, designed by Jan Kotik for the renowned Beránek Glassworks, represents a striking example of mid-century Czech glass design. Known as the 'Propeller' model, this piece is highly sought after for its dynamic, sculptural form that captures the essence of the era's innovative approach to glassmaking. Crafted from heavy, solid glass, the vase features a complex, undulating surface that plays with light and shadow. The colourway is a sophisticated blend of amber and green tones, which shift in intensity depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions. The organic, almost fluid shape is characteristic of Kotik's visionary designs, making it a standout piece of 20th-century decorative art. The vase remains in good vintage condition, retaining its original structural integrity and vibrant colour palette. The glass exhibits a natural patina consistent with its age, adding to its authentic character and historical value. This sculptural vase serves as a compelling focal point in both contemporary and mid-century modern interiors. It pairs exceptionally well with natural wood surfaces or minimalist settings, where its complex form and rich colours can be fully appreciated.
