(Design at Home with Mark Hill - Pure Evil Gallery, London, 7th April 2019) An early 1960s Czechoslovakian Exbor vase, designed by Karel Wünsch in 1963, the rectangular section colourless body with cut triangular aperture at the base, the body engraved with groups of lines, ovals and spots to resemble stylised grass, or an entirely abstract design, the base with circular acid-etched 'Exbor' mark and with 'W' monogram mark, 13cm high The 'W' monogram mark indicates that this was produced under the direct supervision of Wünsch himself. Wünsch has also explained that this mark indicates that it was a 'Unikat' design, meaning that fewer than ten pieces were ever produced - possibly even only a handful. He also stated that this may have been cut by his favourite glass engraver at the time, Mr Aschenbrenner. The original design drawing for this extremely rare example is in the collection of the Corning Museum of Glass.
