AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This vase is a classic example of the Barolak line, produced by the Rudolfova Hut glass factory, belonging to the Josef Inwald company in Czechoslovakia. Known for its refined Art Déco aesthetics, the Barolak series is characterized by deeply molded, frosted and pressed glass, with intricate botanical motifs; in this case, birch leaves and catkins. The smoky gray tone, often called "fumé", was a popular option in the 1930s to highlight the raised details. Collectors prize these pieces for their sculptural quality and the contrast between the translucent and frosted finishes. Its market value is based on the condition of the delicate frosted relief areas, which are prone to chipping. This piece remains highly sought after among Art Déco glass connoisseurs due to its authentic design and exquisite craftsmanship.
