Product description
Mid-Century Modern Sculptural Glass Vase by Jan Beránek for Škrdlovice, 1950s
Czech Republic, circa 1950s
by Jan Beránek (Designer)
A striking and highly collectible example of Czech modernist glass design, this sculptural vase was created in the 1950s by Jan Beránek for the renowned Škrdlovice Glassworks—a powerhouse of avant-garde glassmaking in post-war Czechoslovakia.
Blown in thick, luminous glass, the vase exhibits Beránek’s signature style: fluid organic form, subtle asymmetry, and a deep sense of material expressiveness. The mass of the piece (over 1.2 kg) gives it not just visual but physical gravity—this is glass you feel as much as you see. Its rounded, tactile silhouette and masterful control of form evoke the era’s experimentation with biomorphism and handcraft in tension with modernist ideals.
