This Gorgeous and simple vase was designed in 1985 by Pavel Juda for the then Skrdlovice Glass Works, which was originally Beranek Glass but nationalized during communist rule in 1948 to be Skrdlovice Glass Works. In 1992 the glass works was returned to the Beranek family to become once again Beranek Glass Works. Unfortunately, the factory was closed in 2008. During the last half of the 20th century this glass works produced some of the most beautiful art glass produce; however, it was hidden from the world behind the Iron Curtain and only now is becoming noticed. This is a beautiful piece using the Sommerso and controlled bubble techniques we most often relate to Murano glass with extreme skill and beauty. It is in wonderful condition with no chips, crack or chiggers and maintains its original paper label.
