ABOUT PRODUCTID 15218
This glass bowl, designed by Josef Hospodka for Chribska Glassworks in the 1960s, is defined by its organic, sculptural silhouette characteristic of Central European mid-century modernism. The piece features a wide, undulating rim with petal-like contours, its primary hue a deep, transparent fuchsia that blends seamlessly from vivid pink into a clear, glass base. The bowl’s thick, glossy glass walls display distinct curves, while the multi-faceted clear foot lends stability and visual weight. The surface has a lustrous, high-gloss finish, enhancing the interplay of light, color, and hand-formed detail. As both a decorative accent and a functional tabletop vessel, the bowl fuses artistic finesse with solid craftsmanship. Condition is very good – no visible chips, cracks, or repairs, only slight traces of age-appropriate use. The bowl subtly narrates the story of a Czechoslovak era energized by optimism and experimentation. Its biomorphic lines and saturated fuchsia tone are a nod to the spirit of the 1960s – a period marked by exploration of form, color, and the expressive possibilities of hand-shaped glass. The surface responds vividly to changing light, animating the object with shifting brilliance and depth, as if capturing a fleeting wave and momentarily holding radiance within its contours. This 1960s piece may serve as a freestanding highlight on a low console or sideboard, especially against matte or neutral backgrounds. It can be paired with other glass objects – whether clear or in deep, saturated hues – to create a cohesive mid-century composition with a Bohemian accent.
