Miloslav Klinger ZBS Czech Neodymium Art Glass Orchid Vase 35cm Alexandrite

  
# Vintage 1960s Czech Bohemian Neodymium / Alexandrite Art Glass Orchid Vase. ## Designed by Miloslav Klinger for Zeleznobrodské Sklo (ZBS). Designed in the 1960s by the celebrated glass master Miloslav Klinger for ZBS (Zeleznobrodské Sklo) in Czechoslovakia, this sculptural "orchid" or "winged" vase is an icon of Sklo Union design. The piece is masterfully hand-sculpted from rare Neodymium (Alexandrite) glass, prized by collectors for its magical color-changing properties. Under standard daylight or regular fluorescent lighting, the glass exhibits a sleek, cool lavender/violet hue.

When moved into warm incandescent light, it beautifully shifts into a soft pinkish-lilac tone. The vase features a heavy, thick-walled organic base that effortlessly draws upward into two tall, elegant, fluidly pulled wing-like prongs. Height: 35.5 cm (14 inches).

Width: 11 cm (4.3 inches) at widest point. Depth: 10 cm (4 inches) at base. Material: Hand-Sculpted Neodymium / Alexandrite Art Glass. Weight: Heavy, solid glass base typical of high-end Bohemian production.

Please check the high-resolution photographs to carefully evaluate the condition. Excellent Vintage Condition: No chips, cracks, or flea-bites anywhere on the body or the delicate tips of the tall pulled prongs. Glass Quality: Beautifully clear with excellent luster.

Base Wear: The underside of the base features an authentic, smooth, ground and fire-polished pontil ring showing only light, honest shelf wear consistent with age and careful display over the decades.
