VLADISLAV URBAN 1960’s Frosted Glass Vase / MODERNIST, Brutalist CZECH DESIGN

Vladislav Urban joined with two other artists in the 1960’s and turned pressed glass from an inexpensive substitute for costly cut glass into an art form. Urban’s political views got him into trouble in communist Czechoslovakia but his genius is being rediscovered today. This exceptional frosted glass vase has a striking, modernist/brutalist design that is pleasing to the eye and touch. Its bark-like texture is rough yet silky to feel. The vase measures 8 inches tall by 3 inches wide and is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks.
