Vintage Sklo Union Glass “Maze” Vase designed by Fratizek Visner

Jon Nix — Mon, 05 Sep 2022 14:20:04 +0000

Known as the "maze" vase, the Frantizek Visner-designed glass vase by Sklo Union is rather emblematic of its time - and a good-looking piece for now too. It's a chunky piece measuring approximately 25 cm high (10 in.) with a base measuring 10cm (4 in.) which reflects and refracts light in interesting ways with its deeply pressed glass pattern coming to the fore.

In excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.

Heavy Vintage Rounded Square Glass Bowl with Smoked Mustard-Orange Gradient

Jon Nix — Mon, 05 Sep 2022 13:41:19 +0000

Weighing in at almost 900g this rounded square bowl is a solidly sculpted piece of glass and certainly an eye-catching piece, possibly from Murano, but this cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty. With its very thick rounded rim in clear glass and its graduated colour which appears almost solid at the base, it interacts with light in very interesting ways. From some angles there's a mustard-like tone to the colour, from other angles it's more of a deep orange-brown, and then again, dark brown hues almost a black tone, takes precedent in the refracted colours. Measuring approximately 18cm (7 in.) square at the rim, and approximately 7.5 cm (3 in.) in height, it makes much more of a statement than its dimensions suggest.

The bowl is in generally good condition. There are some minor grazes and surface scratches throughout but no chips or cracks and there's nothing that immediately catches the eye in a detrimental way. A little stunner, albeit a chunky one!

Vintage Orange/Amber Optical Art Spiral Design Double Waisted Glass Vase

Jon Nix — Sat, 13 Aug 2022 21:43:15 +0000

A stunning glass vase measuring 24 cm (9½ in.) in height with a double waisted design and a very eye-catching spiral pattern running through it. It's a relatively delicate piece of glass in an orange-amber colour (more orange than some of the brown-tinged amber colours which you see) and it really dazzles with light behind it and the interplay of the spiral patterns coming to the fore. Unmarked but very probably from Empoli, Italy. The photos here really don't do it justice, though we've tried! The vase is handblown with the very distinctive marks to the base which are evidence of this method of manufacture and though we can't be sure, it's most likely of Italian origin.

In good condition, with some minor grazes only to the surface and no chips or cracks. The rim is very good. There are other imperfections from the making process but nothing which detracts from the overall look of the vase. The base measures approximately 8 cm (3 in.) and as mentioned it's about 24 cm (9½ in.) in height.

Vintage Handblown Textured Glass Semi-Globe Vase

Jon Nix — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 23:21:06 +0000

A piece of vintage art glass in the form of a semi-globe shaped vase with pineapple-style interior texture and a slightly fluted and rim. A very finely produced and lightweight item which shows considerable craftsmanship in its making and unusual in form and visual effect, particularly with the texture on the inside rather than the outside of the glass. It is most likely to be East European in origin.

The vase has no chips or cracks and is presented in excellent condition. The vase measures approximately 12cm (4¾ in.) in height with the "ball" section approximately 9cm (3½ in) of that. The vase is 11cm (4¼ in.) at its widest, with a rim measuring 6.5 cm (2½ in.) in diameter and a base 4.5 cm (1¾ in.) in diameter.

Vintage Italian Sommerso Triple Colour Glass Teardrop

Jon Nix — Sun, 02 Aug 2020 20:08:00 +0000

A stunning three colour "sommerso" Italian glass sculpture in teardrop shape, possibly attributable to Flavio Poli for Seguso, in rose pink, pale cyan/teal and blue colourway. Dating from the 1960s, it requires little more in the way of words to describe it. We'll let the pictures and the item do the talking...

In good original condition with only one minor flaw which is a nibble to the base which is not visble when placed. Due to the nature of manufacture there are some very tiny bubbles internal to the glass work.
The sculpture weighs approximately 925 grams and measures approximately 17cm (6¾ in.) in height, 9.5cm (3¾ in.) at its widest, with a depth of approximately 6cm (2¼ in.)

Teal gradient glass vase with scales or fans design

Jon Nix — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 22:36:43 +0000

A very stylish teal (blue-green) glass vase with what appears to be a transfer design resembling stylised fish scales or fans all with a gradient from a lighter tone at the top to a darker tone at the bottom. We don't know precisely how old this is, but we wouldn't at all be surprised if it dated from the 1960s. It also appears to be handmade, since there are some variations in the positioning of the designs. You might call this inconsistency a defect, but if that's the case then it's probably a sign of the human touch if anything!

The vase measures approx. 17cm (6¾ in) in height with a diameter at the top of 8cm (3¼ in) and at the base of 6cm(2½ in). It's in very good condition, no chips or cracks, just some horizontal "banding" to the finish which is barely noticeable except when scrutinised closely.
