A weighted Objet D’Art, taking an organic sculptural form. This Skrdlovice Art glass candleholder has a Marmalade hue cocooned by translucent glass. Designed using an Italian technique, “Sommerso”, layers of glass create the illusion of immersed or “submerged” color.

The Skrdlovice Glassworks, originally named Beránek Glassworks, was founded by Emanuel Beránek and his three brothers in 1940. Skrdlovice later became Beránek again after re-privatization. The Beránek factory closed in 2008.
