This vase was designed by Jan Beránek for Skrdlovice, a renowned Czechoslovakian glassworks known for producing exceptional art glass during the mid-20th century. Beránek was a prominent designer at Skrdlovice during the 1960s, creating pieces that combined traditional Czech glassmaking techniques with modernist aesthetics. The Sommerso technique, involving layering colored glass within clear glass, was adapted by Czech artisans to create their own distinctive style that rivaled Italian Murano glass in quality and artistic merit.

These Skrdlovice pieces are highly prized by collectors of Czech art glass and mid-century modern decorative arts. The combination of Beránek's sophisticated design sensibility and Skrdlovice's technical excellence makes these vases particularly desirable. Collectors appreciate the historical significance of Czech glass production during this golden era, and the vibrant emerald green color combined with the sculptural form makes these pieces standout decorative objects that bridge the gap between functional design and fine art.
