Oldrich Lipsky art glass studio vase, Atelier Exbor, Czechoslovakia, 1960s

An extraordinary sculptural handblown studio art glass vase from the 1960s, designed by Oldřich Lipský (1922–1987) and handcrafted by Atelier Exbor in Czechoslovakia. A great abstract design with precise geometric cuts. Hand-cut from thick solid glass, it has a square base and a widening shape with faceted and polished sides. Made in the Sommerso technique (layered glass with a colored inner glass core), the vase shows a beautiful combination of blue / light blue and purple / pink glass. In very good condition, a real showcase piece. A very exceptional vase. Height 8.25", 2.75 X 2.75".
