A rare mid-1960s Skrdlovice ‘Sabina’ large vase, designed by Miloslava Svobodova

Description

During the 1960s, creativity at the Skrdlovice factory reached new heights. This was due to an expansion of the number of designers, major improvements in the quality of manufacture, the release of innovative ranges in a rot of colours, and a steady and strong distribution network

From 1962-67, Miloslava Svobodova (1936-2005) was one of the leading designers at Skrdlovice, and contributed much to the artistic style of the factory. Moving designs forward into the new decade, she balanced youthful vigour and artistry with a strong awareness of what the market wanted.

Shown in the factory pattern book as pattern number 6621, this design was produced from early 1966 for a few years in different sizes, this being the largest. The strong graduated green to blue body is embellished with a wavy, undulating trail of colourless glass that cleverly has a green underlying layer that can only be seen from the side. As such, it appears colourless, green, or blue depending on the angle it is viewed from. Examples are very hard to find today.
