About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
For sale is a beautiful rarity: a spherical vase from the renowned "Harrtil" series by the Czechoslovakian glassworks Harrachov.
The design dates from the late 1950s/early 1960s (attributed to Milan Metelák/Miloš Pulpitel, among others).
What makes this mouth-blown studio glass vase so special is its delicate, net-like structure of fine white glass fibers, masterfully fused into thick crystal glass (a modern interpretation of the Venetian Reticello technique).
The vase is made of high-quality glass and is in excellent condition. The structure and surface of the glass are intact, underscoring the quality of its production at that time.
Manufacturer: Harrachov Glassworks (Czechoslovakia), "Harrtil" series, Harrtil Bazaa
Designer: Net-patterned glass series designed by Miloš Pulpitel (partly in collaboration with Rudolf Schwedler or Milan Metelák)
Production period: Mid-Century Modern, circa 1950s to 1960s
Special feature: Merletto/Retinello technique: Handcrafted, mouth-blown studio glass with an incorporated white net pattern
Condition: Perfect vintage condition! No cracks, no chips, no limescale, and no scratches. Display piece.
Dimensions • Height: approx. 13 cm • Width / Diameter: approx. 14 cm • Opening (Diameter): approx. 6.2 cm
After the nationalization of the glassworks in 1948, Czechoslovakian studio glass experienced a worldwide renaissance in the 1950s (especially after the EXPO 58 World's Fair in Brussels). This vase belongs precisely to this era of modern mid-century design.
A wonderful collector's item for lovers of Czech art glass (Sklo Union / Bohemia) and stylish retro design.

This spherical vase blends seamlessly into a mid-century modern interior and adds a subtle accent as a decorative element on a sideboard or shelf.
It combines beautifully with other glass objects or minimalist decorations.
