Diameter: 6.7 cm • About Frantisek Peceny: Peceny belongs to the first generation of glassmakers who began working with pressed glass after the war. He studied at the Prague School of Arts and Crafts. In 1947, he became an artist at the Hermanova Hut, which later became the Glass Union. From the very beginning, he tried to give pressed glass an artistic value that would distinguish it from imitation cut glass. This designer's creations are characterized primarily by the use of the optical quality of glass. He uses simple surfaces and then adds various lens effects. In the seventies, as a master of decoration, he applied relief decoration, in particular floral ornamentation. František Pečený's pressed glass was exhibited for example at Expo 58 in Brussels, at Czechoslovak Glass Moscow 1959 or at the Czech Pressed Glass Gottwaldow 1972 exhibition • Careful shipping or hand delivery free of charge possible in Paris.
