Vase by Marita Voigt Harzkristall early 70's

Normally I'am not so interested in faceted glass, but I was amazed by this object when I saw it the first time. It's an icon of GDR design made by Marita Voigt for Harzkristall in the early Seventies. It's difficult not to see this explosion of space by the lense facets as a - conscious or inconscious - commentary about the narrowness and sadness of the GDR in this period. It's 22 cm high and exists in different sizes and colors. Marita Voigt still works as a glass sculptor (a genre which unfortunately doesn't interest me very much) and has a website: http://glasstudio-m-voigt.de/ She was very young when she designed this vase. It's not so known that not only Czechoslawakia but also the GDR hat very good glass artists like Albin Schadel (look at these obejcts http://j.mp/albinschaedel ) or Volkhard Precht.
