Pair of Red Opaline Glass Table Lamps for Jihlava, Czechoslovakia, 1960s

Striking pair of red opaline glass table lamps designed by Štěpán Tabera and produced by OPP Jihlava in the 1960s. The lamps feature bold spherical bodies resting on integrated pedestal bases, creating a compact and sculptural silhouette typical of Czechoslovak modernist lighting.

The vibrant red glass has a high-gloss finish and strong visual depth, making the pair particularly impactful as accent lighting. The design reflects the confident geometric vocabulary of mid-century Czechoslovak industrial glass production.

An increasingly collectible example of Eastern European modernist lighting design.
