About the Item

Large art glass paperweight or sculpture features an abstract design in sapphire blue with green accents, enclosed in clear glass in sommerso technique. The piece is marked with the foil sticker on the side. The Beránek glassworks was founded by Emanuel Beránek and his two brothers in Skrdlovice in 1941. The factory name was changed to Skrdlovice around 1950 after nationalization; Emanuel continued to work at and run the factory, and was joined by his two sons in the 1950's, Jan Beránek and Jindrich Beránek. Skrdlovice designers included Milena Veliskova, Maria Stahlikova, Jan Kotik, Jaroslav Svoboda, Jarmila Svoboda, Pavel Jezek, Ladislav Oliva and Frantisek Vizner. Emanuel retired in 1959; his son Jan had taken charge of the factory. The Skrdlovice glassworks were returned to the Beránek family in 1992.
