A MAGNIFICENT CZECH ART GLASS 'SUNBURST' VASE DESIGNED BY CONTEMPORARY MASTER DESIGNER PETR HORA IN 1983

 


For over 20 years Petr Hora explores glass as an art material, and uses his extraordinary imagination to create forms and images into distinctive sculpture. He has been influenced by many things; the ancient arts, the pyramids, contemporary architecture, the human form and images from nature.

His use of colour and light is compelling. He has proven that there are no happy accidents in his work. What appears flawless, minimal, even simple, is the result of intense hours of grinding and polishing. Petr Hora does not allow us to see this. If his efforts were to be seen in his work, he would deny the viewer the feeling of simple perfection. The play of light must seem so natural to appear that it was always there; the minimal line a result of inspiration - not perspiration.

Ferdinand Hampson, President of Habitat Galleries (Michigan, USA)

PLEASE NOTE

Glass from the mid-20th century is vintage glassware and age related signs of wear such as small fine surface scratches/marks should be expected. The items are hand-made, they may have imperfections such as bubbles, inclusions and lumps within the glass. Tool marks from where they have been shaped and worked in the manufacturing process can often be seen. As this indicates authenticity and forms an inherent part of the character of handmade crystal glass, these are normally not considered as faults by collectors.

* This magnificent item is an original, hand-made Czech art glass vase (and not Italian Murano, Daum, Kosta Boda, Flygfors, Orrefors, Swarovski, Leerdam, Val St Lambert, Whitefriars or Lalique studio glass).

* I personally sourced this beauty from the Czech Republic for my own, private collection many moons ago. Regrettably, with retirement on the horizon, I am now compelled to make space and I sincerely hope that it will bring its new owner much joy! XKOBUI2
