How Much is a Czech Glass Spatter?
Finding the Right Vases for You
Whether it’s a Chinese Han dynasty glazed ceramic wine vessel, a work of Murano glass or a hand-painted Scandinavian modern stoneware piece, a fine vase brings a piece of history into your space as much as it adds a sophisticated dynamic.
Like sculptures or paintings, antique and vintage vases are considered works of fine art. Once offered as tributes to ancient rulers, vases continue to be gifted to heads of state today. Over time, decorative porcelain vases have become family heirlooms to be displayed prominently in our homes — loved pieces treasured from generation to generation.
The functional value of vases is well known. They were traditionally utilized as vessels for carrying dry goods or liquids, so some have handles and feature an opening at the top (where they flare back out). While artists have explored wildly sculptural alternatives over time, the most conventional vase shape is characterized by a bulbous base and a body with shoulders where the form curves inward.
Owing to their intrinsic functionality, vases are quite possibly versatile in ways few other art forms can match. They’re typically taller than they are wide. Some have a neck that offers height and is ideal for the stems of cut flowers. To pair with your mid-century modern decor, the right vase will be an elegant receptacle for leafy snake plants on your teak dining table, or, in the case of welcoming guests on your doorstep, a large ceramic floor vase for long tree branches or sticks — perhaps one crafted in the Art Nouveau style — works wonders.
Interior designers include vases of every type, size and style in their projects — be the canvas indoors or outdoors — often introducing a splash of color and a range of textures to an entryway or merely calling attention to nature’s asymmetries by bringing more organically shaped decorative objects into a home.
On 1stDibs, you can browse our collection of vases by material, including ceramic, glass, porcelain and more. Sizes range from tiny bud vases to massive statement pieces and every size in between.
- How do I identify Czech glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify Czech glass, first see if your piece bears a foil label or an acid mark that signifies the maker. If you find one, search trusted resources to determine who the maker is and if the company is Czech. Some well-known Czech makers include Moser, Crystalex, Rückl and Škrdlovice. Unfortunately, foil labels on older Czech glassware may be lost, making it difficult to identify. As a result, experts recommend that you consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer if you can't locate a marking or label or want further support with identifying your piece.

- Why is Czech glass famous?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 27, 2025Czech glass is famous because of its quality and heritage. The tradition of glassmaking in the area actually predates the formation of Czechoslovakia, having originated there in the 13th century. Over the years, Czech artisans have produced glassware prized for its clarity and intricate cuts. Part of the reason why glassmaking became so prevalent in what is now the Czech Republic is that the country is home to the raw materials used in the process, such as potash and quartz.
