Merletto Glass Vase with Ground Lip, style of Harrachov Czech
About the Item
This may not be a vase by the Czech company Harrach, hence listed ‘in the style of’. Nevertheless, it has a strong central European 1950s aesthetic.
We love to connect the objects we find to the social movements of their time. This vase was made in the 1950s - the atomic age. You can see the inclination towards science - experimental materials and technology, accuracy and super fine detail in the 'Merlatto' (lace) glass treatment of this vase.
The Merletto pattern inside the glass is unlike the triple-threaded Czech version. It looks more like the earlier Seguso Merletto technique, with single threads of fine white glass laced under the surface.
In any case, this is a lovely plump spherical vase of small to medium size. It will fit beautifully with decor vignettes focused on Modernist pieces, refined textures and mono-tonal themes.
In our shop, visitors have frequently felt compelled to pick it up, feel it in their hands and examine it closely, which we love to see. A real curiosity and very attractive in both shape and pattern.
