Another of what I call my "Vampire forms" - a sophisticated sexy curvaceous form with warm blood running through it's veins that not even the shyest of vampires could reject...

...this time an offering from the Czech Republic which can always deliver when in comes to forms that are a little darker, a little more colour intense and curious in shape or form - here is one of those...

.. spanning nearly 21cm's wide and circa 1960, the shape is like a fusion of 2 boat bows with a longish footprint and a pulled ends......the mid-drift has been dramatically dragged down the flanks to echo those ends....

the result as you can see is a beautifully proportioned form with both bold curvaceous form with graphic points of relief, but also subtle balance and elegance.......symmetrical and seamlessly flowing, the piece has beauty before we consider it's colour - and what colour it is!

...we all an speak of "blood-red", but this piece fringes on a clotted or coagulated blood hue - so dark, rich and intense it can look black in some light - just sublime!

....the inner shell almost has a iridescence to it - some added compound or chemical in the decadent mix....

..a very sexy sensuous and elegant form from the then dark republic, in lovely vintage condition with only some age-related scratches, and a small chip on the foot base that is unseen and mentioned for accuracy only - displays beautifully!

...good luck and do not forget to view my other listings glass ..
