Its surface and colour shift with the viewing angle, while the companion vase uses a restrained cylindrical form, encased amber and green glass, and controlled air bubbles to hold movement within the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, the vases create a measured contrast between irregular volume and strict geometry. They work particularly well on a low sideboard, illuminated shelf, or pedestal where daylight can pass through the glass; the pair can also be separated across a room to repeat colour and visual weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJan Beránek was central to the development of the Škrdlovice glassworks and its tradition of expressive, hand-shaped glass. František Vízner later brought a more controlled vocabulary to Czech glass, favouring clear geometry, substantial walls, and carefully managed optical effects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skrdlovice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57411193569655,"sku":"1631_1633","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/0434\/3415\/files\/1631_1633_DUO_Vases_Skladovice_Green_Amber_Glass_Glossy-2.jpg?v=1787677944","url":"https:\/\/www.berlinretrofinds.com\/products\/czech-art-glass-vase-duo-jan-beranek-frantisek-vizner-1959-70s","provider":"Berlin Retro Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
