This extremely rare large bowl was among the first designs Liskova produced fo rthe world-famous company of Moser, founded in 1857. The sculptural, organically curving walls recall pre-war designs produced during the late 1920s by Heinrich Hussmann, but are more rounded and flowing, recalling the liquid nature of molten glass.
The vibrant, tonal green glass used is unique to Moser and is known as 'Beryl.' Introduced by Moser at an exhibition in Hradec Králové in 1925, it heralded the introduction of a series of different brightly coloured glass made using 'rare earths' such as a neodymium and praseodymium. Considered a hallmark colour, it is still used today.
Other examples from this range can be found in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague and in the Moser museum.
Vera Lisková (1925-85) studied at the State School of Graphic Art in Prague from 1940-41, and then at the Academy of Applied Art in Prague from 1942-49. From 1948-49, she trained at Lobmeyr. In 149, she joined Moser and designed there until 1961. She then became and independent designer, producing desings for Moser and other companies. Her work was exhibited at the XI and the XII Triennales in Milan, and at the World Expo in Brussels in 1958. Examples of her designs can be found in many major museums internationally.

Mark Hill Comments :
The Duha range is typified by a 'rainbow' of horizontal bands in vibrant green, orange and blue, and heavily cased forms. Shapes are typically curving and organic, echoing the ductile, rounded nature of molten glass.
Itw as introduced in 1960, with the first designsb being by Vlastimil Svoboda. The range was enlarged in 1964, with new shapes designed by Vladimir Mika, although Svoboda also lays claim to these. These additional shapes were the last to be introduced at the Mstisov glassowrkds before it was closed and production was moved to the Moser glassworks at Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad).
Ovoid vase forms were produced using the 'wet stick' process, where a wet stick was thrust into the molten body of the piece when it was being formed. The water in the stick would turn to steam and expand the body. It would then be finished.
Quality was always high and examples with even and strong colours are now highly sought-after.
The range was produced from 19609-64 at Mstisov and then from 1964 to around 1971 at Moser. It was featured in Czechoslovak Glass...
