Stanislav Libensky att. Suspended Network Sommerso Art Glass Vase, 1970s

PLEASE NOTE: This item is only available exclusively for pickup at our Oakville location.

This exquisite work of Modern art glass is attributed to be by Stanslav Libensky (b. 1921 - d. 2002). The sculpted handblown form is sleek as it is stylised, taking the form of an abstract tear shape, the piece also presents two facets, or 'faces' which magnify the intricate glass spirals suspended in the centre.

The interior decor is composed of Libensky's characteristic palette with Aubergine and Mandarin. The core of the vase is a suspended channel of Aubergine that is wrapped in a spiralled net of Mandarin and overlaid onto this complex pattern is a further spiralling of Aubergine. It does not take much to imagine and appreciate the level of technical skill to create this effect with molten glass that would typically be in temperatures of c. 2400 F / 1300 C.

The stylised form, eye-catching decor pattern, and excellent condition of this piece make it a rare find that can be displayed as a standalone piece.
