Zelezny Brod Neodymium Glass Fish by Miloslav Janku

Description

A stunning Czech glass sculpture of a fish, made in very unusual and quite rare neodymium glass (also known as alexandrite glass), which changes colour according to different lighting conditions!! The vase appears lilac in natural sunlight or yellow artificial light, and smoky blue in fluorescent/white light (see pictures).This is due to the presence of neodymium oxide (Nd²O³) in the glass..

Made by the Zelezny Brod glassworks, also known as Železnobrodské Sklo (ZBS), designed by Miloslav Janku, unmarked.
