Designed by Rudolf Schrotter in 1955 for Rosice (part of the Sklo Union glassworks) from a vibrant shade of amber glass and in what's known as a bullet shape. This is a lovely item that looks very much at home with the later modernist inspired pieces coming out of Czechoslovakia during the 1960s and displays well. Has the expected footed 'birdbath' base. Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

SIZE: Height 5.75in/15cm Weight 674g

CONDITION: Great original condition - no chips, cracks or fleabites.

Retro Glass - Sklo Union (Czech)

Here we are proud to offer an exciting selection of the fabulous retro pressed glass from the Sklo Union glass works, Czechoslovakia and dating mostly from the 1960s and 1970s.

Sklo Union, formed in 1965, consisted of a number of Czech glassworks including Hermanova Hut, Rosice, Libochovice and Rudolfova Hut and were responsible for producing incredibly modernist designed glassware, seemingly way ahead of their time, and designed by legendary names such as Frantisek Vizner, Vladislav Urban, Rudolf Jurnikl, Adolf Matura and Frantisek Peceny amongst others.

This is an area of glass we are hugely excited about and believe will become increasingly more appreciated, documented and collected as time goes on. Our very grateful thanks to Marcus Newhall, researcher and writer for his very generous assistance in helping us to learn more about this fascinating area of glass and, of course, his friendship. We are very pleased to announce that Marcus' long awaited book 'Sklo Union, Art Before Industry: 20th Century Czech Pressed Glass' was launched recently and is now available for purchase at www.sklounion.com. It is packed with stunning photographs and essential information and comes with an Interactive CD Rom containing a searchable reference library of over 4500 pieces. Get your copy today!
