After their studies, Vízner and Urban began working as designers for the Rudolfa Hut glassworks, where Rudolf Jurnikl had worked since 1958. This strong trio, Jurnikl Vízner Urban, gave Czechoslovak pressed glass a unique appearance. Urban came up with the idea of casting molds directly from the model. This is how he enriched the pressed glass assortment with numerous models, which work with different structures. The distinctive structure is created by bruising the structure of the material from which the model is made. Vladislav Urban's works are characterized by a square shape, a distinctive texture, and varied decorations. *** Careful shipping.
