'... he has created a series of vessels that are among the most perfect objects ever made by human hands...'

(Glass Magazine, curator and critic William Warmus)

In 2012 Frantisek Vizner was ranked amongst the top 10 in the list of the top fifty most influential artists of all times by the Studio Glass movement in the United States (GLASS: Feature in The Urban Glass Art Quaterly titled 'Fifty at Fifty: The artists from the first fifty years of Studio Glass who will remain most relevant for the next fifty years').

Vizner's work is represented in numerous museums, art galleries as well as public and private collections all over the world (including the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; The Corning Museum of Glass, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; National Gallery, Prague; National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; National Museum, Stockholm; Kunstmuseum, Dusseldorf; Musee des Arts Decoratif, Lausanne; Musee des Arts Decoratif, Paris; Chrysler Museum of Art, Virginia; etc)

* This magnificent item is original and rare, hand-made Czech art glass (and not Italian Murano, Daum, Kosta Boda, Orrefors, Flygsfors, Swarovski, Leerdam, Val St Lambert, Whitefriars or Lalique studio glass). I personally handpicked & imported this beauty for my own collection from the Czech Republic.
