Josef Inwald’s Barolac line is among the most celebrated examples of Czech Art Deco glass. This vase, featuring the iconic “Dans la forêt” (In the Forest) motif, depicts a stylized woodland scene that reflects themes of renewal, harmony, and resilience.
Produced circa 1937 in Teplice, Czechoslovakia, the design showcases the era’s fascination with nature interpreted through modern, geometric aesthetics. The intricate pressed-glass mold demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship, creating a detailed relief with remarkable depth and light-reflecting texture.
Rendered in a warm amber tone, the vase combines sculptural presence with refined elegance. Its timeless design makes it a versatile decorative piece, equally suited to minimalist, boho-chic, or mid-century interiors.
