This pressed glass vase, designed by František Vízner for Sklo Union c.1960, forms part of the Mid-Century Modern Czech glass tradition celebrated for its sculptural clarity. The model, known as The Maze, features a geometric relief surface that refracts light through vertical ridges and recessed channels.

Vízner’s designs for Sklo Union redefined industrial glass, merging mass production with precise modernist aesthetics. The vase is made in clear pressed glass, its cylindrical form finished with a polished rim and patterned base. Condition is good with light age wear. A fine example of post-war Czech art glass uniting functional purpose and visual rhythm.
