1/2025 Painted vase

The painted vase of monumental size was created at the Železná Brod Glass School in 1967 as a final project by a student, Eva Mirvaldová, married Vágnerová. Eva Mirvaldová was a student of the department of painted and etched glass, which at that time was led by Vlasta Maryšková, as workshop manager, and painter Jan Novotný, who led the department in terms of design.

The thin-walled cylindrical vase is decorated on the surface with geometric patterns painted with colored listels and is a high-quality and typical example of painted glass of this period. Jan Novotný was a prominent artist and teacher at the Železný Brod Glass School, who left a significant mark on the history of the school. January 23rd marks twenty years since his death.
