Bubbles and traces inherent in glass manufacturing may be present. About Milos Filip: He was part of the first generation of post-war designers who championed the new concept of pressed glass. He realized its potential and its mass-production character. In 1955, he became a designer for Ubok. His first creations were made by the Inwald company, with which he cooperated. Miloš Filip's glass is characterized by geometric restraint and cultivated expression. In his creations, he uses clear, undecorated lines and substantial finishes. In 1962, Filip used the opposite approach in designing a vase, which, at the time, was considered a highly inventive thought. He tragically died at the age of 40. Throughout his creative period, he affirmed the enhancement of the creative and artistic value of glass. Careful shipping or free hand delivery possible in Paris.
