ABOUT PRODUCTID 17506
This vintage art glass bowl, designed by Frantisek Zemek for the Mstisov Glass Factory in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, exemplifies the refined glass artistry typical of the mid-century era. The organic, heavy form features smooth transitions between translucent emerald green and delicate pink hues along the rim, resulting in a striking multicolor gradient. The highly polished surface accentuates the natural brilliance of the material and enhances the interplay of light upon the radiating, petal-like hand-formed indentations. These reliefs subtly reference floral motifs emblematic of mid-century modern design, while the craftsmanship reflects the advanced glassmaking techniques of the period. The glass is free from chips and cracks, showing only minimal, age-appropriate wear on the base that attests to both authenticity and the excellent state of preservation.The bowl’s shape and coloration echo the optimism and creative confidence of Czechoslovakia’s mid-century designers: swollen contours, gentle reliefs, and tonal transitions evoke the aquatic flora and the organic inspirations of late modernism. Every line speaks to the hand of the maker, and the notable thickness of the glass invites a moment of contemplation on a time when even everyday objects blended utility with subtle decoration. In sunlight, the bowl comes alive, its layered colors and reliefs revealing new depths; the gentle scuffs on its base offer a quiet testimony to a lived history.Placed atop a coffee table or sideboard, this bowl pairs well with understated wooden accents or neutral ceramics. In an authentically mid-century interior, it brings a discreet yet vivid touch of form and color, while in an eclectic space, it can harmonize with contemporary sculpture or graphic art. Consider combining it with soft textiles or other vintage glassware to layer visual interest
