ABOUT PRODUCTID 1794
This decorative bowl, designed by Jozef Hospodka for the Chribska glassworks around 1960, is a distinctive example of mid-century modern Czech art glass. Its organic, floral-inspired form is hand-shaped from multicolored glass: a deep, saturated ruby red flows into amber tones and a clear base, creating a striking color gradient. The undulating, petal-like edges and dynamic contours are hallmarks of Hospodka’s expressive style. The thick glass, displaying subtle air bubbles and variations, attests to artisanal craftsmanship, while the ground, flat base ensures stability. The surface is highly polished, enhancing the luminous, layered effect of the colors. The bowl is preserved in excellent condition, with no signs of wear, damage, or restoration. This piece channels the vitality of 1960s Czech modernism, a period when glass evolved from a utilitarian medium to a vehicle for artistic expression. The fluid, floral silhouette seems to capture both movement and light, as if the glass itself has frozen the instant of a bloom. The color palette—from intense red to warm amber—evokes the richness of nature and the bold chromatic experiments of the era. The bowl speaks in the language of its time: lively and spirited, yet refined through simplicity of form. The bowl could serve as a focal accent on a living room console, where its colors would catch and refract daylight. It pairs well with other mid-century pieces, particularly warm-toned woods or minimalist ceramics, highlighting a dialogue of textures and hues. In
