ABOUT PRODUCTID 10089
This artistic glass bowl by František Zemek, crafted in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, exemplifies Bohemian modernist glassmaking. The hand-shaped, thick-walled glass takes on an organic, fluid form with asymmetrical, undulating edges that create a dynamic, sculptural outline. Its clear base gradually transitions into a warm amber hue, accented by subtle hints of peach and pale pink, resulting in a luminous, flowing color gradient. Free of decorative motifs, the bowl focuses on color, light, and form in keeping with the minimalist spirit of mid-century design. The glossy, smooth surface enhances the radiance of the material, while the gently concave base adds visual lightness and stability. The bowl is in excellent collector’s condition, showing no visible damage, chips, or signs of use.This vessel evokes the voice of modernist Czechoslovakia, where glass was not merely utilitarian but a medium for artistic expression. Its form suggests a soft vortex—an impression of light caught in motion and made permanent within glass. The warm amber palette recalls rays of sunlight streaming through a summer window, with delicate color transitions narrating the region’s glassmaking artistry. It is an object that invites reflection on the fluidity and lightness present in everyday items of a bygone decade.The bowl would serve as a focal point on a low console, coffee table, or within a display cabinet—especially in mid-century modern interiors where natural light can enhance its translucency and color gradations. It may be paired with other glass or neutral-toned ceramics to highlight its subtle hues, or placed within eclectic, collector’s spaces where
