Black glass vase Hyalith from Bohemia, hand-painted geometric design.

Vintage black Hyalith glass vase (or "lava glass") from Bohemia, decorated with hand-painted geometric bands in the spirit of geometric abstract art from the 1920s. Hyalith glass, with its deep black color, was developed in the early 19th century in southern Bohemia at the Buquoy glassworks, and has since been used for decorative purposes. This vase showcases all its characteristics: a classic shape with a wide base and belly and a narrower neck, entirely black glass, and hand-painted triangular patterns in various tones. The base shows traces of blown glass. By its style, the color of the glass, and its patterns, we place it between the 1950s and 1960s. A very decorative piece. Dimensions: height 30 cm, width 11 cm, depth 9 cm.
