The mold-blown pressed glass possesses a substantial, heavy quality that elevates it from mere tableware to a functional sculpture. This \"Galloping Horses\" model (No. 1656) is a celebrated example of the animalier tradition, reflecting the interwar era’s fascination with speed, vitality, and streamlined natural forms.\n\nDesign \u0026amp; Provenance\nDesigner: Karl Zentner (1891–1963), a prominent figure in Czech glass design known for his architectural and animal-centric motifs.\n\nOrigin: Libochovice, Czechoslovakia; part of the prestigious Feigl \u0026amp; Morawetz glass group.\n\nMateriality: Heavy-grade satinized glass with a light-diffusing atmospheric glow.","brand":"Trove Paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57112328339721,"sku":null,"price":545.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/ywitnckhrrak2jycqceq.png?v=1780583357","url":"https:\/\/oblist.com\/products\/galloping-horses-art-deco-vase-by-karl-zentner-czechoslovakia-c-1930s","provider":"The Oblist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
