Design at Home with Mark Hill - Pure Evil Gallery, London
An early 1970s Czech Skrdlovice 'Unikat' vase pattern no.7212, designed by René Roubicek in 1972, the columnar body formed from three parts joined when hot in an incalmo-type process, comprised of a base in olive green, a central part in amber, and a colourless top part with tiny controlled internal bubbles, 28.5cm high. In the Skrdlovice pattern book, this form is marked with a 'U', which indicates that fewer than examples were ever made. As each is handblown, typically under the supervision of the designer, each piece is entirely unique. René Roubicek (1922-2018) is considered one of the founding forefathers of mid-century modern Czech glass design.
