Bohemia - Vase - Crystal - Artchristal

Unique Bohemia Artcristal heart-shaped vase

The vase shown is a beautiful example of hand-shaped Bohemian art glass from the Czech Republic, specifically identifiable as the organically shaped Model 05
(often produced by glass studios such as Artcristal Bohemia).
This particular design is distinguished by the renowned Sommerso technique,
in which a core of colored glass (in this case, a deep amethyst purple combined with a warm
amber or topaz color) is encased in a thick layer of clear, solid crystal glass.
The undulating, almost heart-shaped rim and flowing lines are characteristic of modern
Czech glassware that builds on mid-century modern designs.
Dimensions: 22/16 cm
