ABOUT PRODUCTID 19686
This centerpiece bowl from the Chribska glassworks represents mid-century modern artistry, designed by Josef Hospodka in the 1960s. Crafted from hand-blown soda-lime glass, it features a deep cobalt blue rim that gently transitions into completely clear glass at the center, highlighting the clarity and skill of its creation. The shallow, wide bowl takes on an organic, almost star-like or floral form: four pronounced, elegantly curved extensions give it sculptural dynamism, supported by a high, tripod-like base composed of twisted glass legs. The ultra-smooth, glossy surface reflects light intensely, magnifying the depth and vibrancy of color. The glass itself is thick and substantial, formed as a single piece with no metal fittings and a hand-ground base. The bowl shows no signs of damage or wear, remaining in very good condition with authentic period details such as the ground bottom and intense, layered coloring.This vessel channels the spirit of 1960s Central European modernism, where the language of glass is all about interplay between light and hue. At every angle, it catches and disperses reflections—a spontaneous gesture of postwar creative freedom embodied in glass. The piece quietly recounts a story of technical ingenuity and expressive adventure; it’s as if it whispers, “look deeply into my colors—light will always reveal something new.”The bowl can serve as a centerpiece on a dining table or as
