This mid-century amber art glass vase commands a significant sculptural presence through its luminous, honey-toned body and refined flared-collar silhouette. The vessel exhibits a sophisticated chromatic shift, deepening toward the base, which creates a rhythmic interaction with ambient light. The surface is animated by hand-applied enamel decoration featuring stylized botanical motifs, scrolling filigree, and raised white highlights—a painterly execution that offers a tactile, three-dimensional quality characteristic of high-end Central European decorative glass.
Attribution & Period Consistent with Bohemian/Czech Production 1960s The silhouette, color saturation, and specific enamel "raised-petal" technique are wholly consistent with post-war Bohemian workshops operating in the 1960s. During this era, Czech and Central European glasshouses mastered the fusion of classical hand-painting with modernist forms for the international export market. The construction of the rim and the precise application of the gilded collar bands are stylistically aligned with documented art glass from the region's mid-century era.
Dimensions & Weight
Height: 7 1/4 inches Width / Diameter: 3 1/8 inches (Widest Point) Depth / Base Diameter: 2 1/4 inches (approx.) Weight: 0.8 lbs
Condition Clinical and direct. The vase is in excellent collector condition with no observed chips, cracks, or professional repairs. The enamel floral program is exceptionally well-preserved with no significant loss or pigment thinning. Light, age-consistent shelf wear is present on the underside of the base; the gilded rim highlights remain crisp with minimal rubbing.
Authenticity & Construction A free-blown art glass body exhibiting clear, consistent walls and a hand-finished rim. The decorative program is achieved through cold-painted enamel techniques, where multi-layered pigments were fired to ensure permanent adhesion and dimensional relief. The lightweight, resonant quality of the glass confirms a decorative art-glass origin rather than a mass-industrial process.
Placement An ideal focal point for a Hollywood Regency or Mid-Century Modern interior. Its warm amber glow makes it a compelling candidate for placement on an entry console, a lit vitrine, or an architectural mantle where the transparency of the glass can be fully realized.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
