This striking Art Deco vase by Karl Palda, crafted in Czechoslovakia during the 1930s, exemplifies the bold geometric elegance for which his designs are renowned. The vase is made from black and transparent glass, with a striking acid-etched pattern that enhances its sculptural form.
The design features sharp angular motifs and rhythmic geometric compositions, typical of the Art Deco movement, creating a dynamic contrast between the deep black sections and the frosted transparency. The interplay of light and shadow across the etched surfaces adds depth and sophistication, making it a true statement piece.
A testament to Palda’s mastery of glass artistry, this vase captures the glamour and innovation of its era, embodying both functionality and high design. Highly collectible, it remains a stunning example of early 20th-century Czechoslovakian craftsmanship.
