This art glass bowl, attributed to František Zemek for the Czech glassworks Sklárna Mstišov, was created in the 1960s. The bowl is distinguished by its substantial, irregular form with an undulating, dynamic profile characteristic of mid-century modern Bohemian glass. Key features include organically shaped, freeform contours and varying wall thickness, creating sculptural peaks and gentle valleys across the surface. The primary color is a warm, translucent golden amber, accented by a subtle greenish gradient along the edges—a detail that enhances the depth and interplay of light within the glass. The piece is finished to a high gloss, revealing the presence of tiny, trapped air bubbles that highlight the handcrafted nature of its creation. The base is smooth and slightly indented, supporting the bowl's fluid, asymmetrical body. The condition is excellent, with only minimal and barely noticeable traces of use expected from glassware of this period. This bowl seems to narrate the creative energy of the 1960s, when Czech glassmakers boldly moved beyond symmetry and convention. In natural light, amber tones flow over the sinuous surface, drawing out variations in color and reflection. The organic silhouette embodies a spirit of artistic freedom—glass that appears to move, ephemeral and unconstrained by traditional form. Delicate air bubbles within the mass evoke the gesture of hand-blowing, while subtle asymmetry signals that each piece was shaped according to its own, unique rhythm. The bowl is well-suited as a solo accent on a low console, a marble tabletop, or a minimalist pale wooden table, where it can freely disperse and refract light. It may be placed alongside other colored glass vessels or ceramics in earthy and olive tones
