Vintage mid century 70s EISCH Op Art glass vase. The glass-making tradition of the Eisch Family has been traced back to Mathias Alesch, born in the Bohemian Forest in 1689 and listed among the employees of a small glassworks there. The founder of Glashütte Eisch, Valentin Eisch, had been employed since 1914 as a master engraver in the crystal glass factory of Industrialist Isidor Gistl. In 1946 Valentin Eisch founded his own finishing plant together with his wife Therese in order to secure a living for his six children.
Based on Erwin Eisch’s free hand-blown glass, the series of unique items “Poetry in Glass” was created in 1977: pieces for collectors and glass-lovers with flowing forms which were formed into artistic objects using a wide range of firing and cold glass techniques.
