ABOUT PRODUCTID 16628
This sculptural art glass centerpiece, created by Josef Hospodka for the Chribska glassworks in the 1960s, embodies the essence of Czechoslovakian mid-century modern design with a bold, expressive touch. Made from cased, soda-lime glass with intense coloring throughout, the bowl transitions fluidly from deep cobalt blue at the top, through violet, to a subtly rosy base, all within substantial, transparent walls. Both interior and exterior surfaces are perfectly smooth and polished, capturing and reflecting light to accentuate the organic, undulating edge. The rim’s hand-worked, wavy contours lend the piece a dynamic, almost star-like silhouette. The underside is meticulously ground and polished, providing stability and revealing precision craftsmanship. Measuring 43 cm in width, 12 cm in height, and 24 cm in depth. The bowl remains in ideal condition, with no visible wear, damage, or restoration. Through this object, one senses the optimism of the 1960s—an era in which artisanal confidence combined with a spirit of experimentation. Waves of color and light echo postwar Central Europe’s creative momentum, breaking conventional boundaries in pursuit of expressive freedom. The form seems to narrate a time when functional art was a gentle but decisive statement: everyday, yet distinctive; decorative, yet manifestly modern. As a showpiece, the bowl can be placed at the center of a light wooden dining table or a low, minimalist sideboard. It may be combined with other glassware or period artifacts to emphasize its modernist origin, or positioned as a striking counterpoint within a subdued, contemporary setting where its colors and sculptural outline take center stage. Ideal for interiors referencing mid-century modernity, it will also fit seamlessly among eclectic vintage collections, introducing a luminous, color-rich focus to the room.
