A MODERN, BEAUTIFUL AND SOLID / HEAVY TRANSPARENT ARCHITECTURAL BOWL
DESIGNED BY MR ALES VALNER IN THE EARLY 2000s
Rare hand-made art glass from behind the Iron Curtain : a unique opportunity to acquire your own piece of 21st Century European History!
- Height : 82 mm
- Width : 120 mm
- Weight : 1,294 kg
No scratches, chips or signs of wear; almost brand new. There are some (production) marks on the inside of the glass however (between layers of glass) and the item has a slightly 'milky' hue that does not show in photographs. As a result, this absolutely unbelievably inexpensive starting price - basically a Christmas gift to some lucky bidder.

* Please note that 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 vase is an original and rare, hand-made Czech art glass vase (and not Italian Murano, Kosta Boda, Orrefors, Flygsfors, Swarovski, Leerdam, Val St Lambert or Lalique studio glass). I personally sourced this beauty from the Czech Republic.
* Appreciation and acknowledgement to Mr Mark Hill for his invaluable archival and reference material. XKOXX
