An authentic retro item in excellent vintage condition. Designed for and made by hand at Zelezný Brod Glassworks (ZBS).
Famous glass artist Miloslav Klinger (1922-1999) attended the High School of applied Arts for Glassmaking in Zelezný Brod during the period 1938-1941, then the studio of Professor Charles Štipl at VŠUP Prague during the period of 1942-1948. He worked successfully as artistic designer for several glass works.He was Artistic Professor at the High School in Zelezný Brod and its Director during the period 1963-1966. ZBS was created in 1948 as a result of nationalisation (at which time it was made up of nine glass factories in the town of Zelezny Brod). ZBS is probably best known for its popular free-formed organic vases and bowls, particularly those designed by Klinger during the 1950s- early 1960s.

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 original and rare, hand-made Czech art glass (and not Italian Murano, Daum, Orrefors, Flygsfors, Swarovski, Leerdam, Val St Lambert, Whitefriars or Lalique studio glass). I personally imported this beauty directly from the Czech Republic for my own private collection.
* Appreciation and acknowledgement to Messrs Mark Hill and Jindrich Parik for their invaluable archival and reference material. XKOXX
