PUBLISHED ON PAGE 6 OF 'SKLO CZECH GLASS DESIGN' BY MARK HILL

Made by Borské sklo, Nový Bor glassworks for Exbor. An Exbor vase with silver chloride and metal inclusions, cut and polished facets, the core encased in colourless glass. Hlava produced the first designs of this type in 1964 and won the Gold Medal for this design at the 1967 Leipzig Trade Fair. The monumental form and coloured internal design make this as much a sculpture as a functional vase.

A scarce and highly sought after collectors item.

* 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.
