ABOUT PRODUCTID 10155
This multicolored artistic glass bowl, designed by František Zemek for the Mstišov glassworks in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, exemplifies the refinement of Czech mid-century glassmaking. The piece is mouth-blown and shaped by hand, featuring a primary amber hue interlaced with vivid emerald green accents, especially along the elongated, asymmetrical arms. Its sculptural, organic silhouette with undulating edges and a substantial, stable base echoes the dynamic movement of water—the central motif of the Niagara collection. The surface is smooth and highly glossy, enhancing the depth of color, while subtle air bubbles and minor irregularities attest to its artisanal origin. Clear glass sections and layered colors add further dimensionality to the form. The bowl remains in excellent condition, showing no visible damage, chips, or signs of wear.This object encapsulates the narrative of an era when Czech glass set global standards by merging formal experimentation with masterful craftsmanship. The asymmetric lines and interplay of colors evoke a waterfall’s energy—as if the glass has captured motion in its solid form. Each shift of light reveals new tones: at times, the amber radiates with warm luminosity; at others, the green glimmers evoke the depths of a river. The bowl resonates with the spirit of the 1960s—a period marked by boldness, innovation, and artistic freedom.The bowl serves as a striking solo accent on a low console or as a centerpiece on a coffee table, especially within interiors inspired by mid-century modern or eclectic collections of artistic glass. It can be paired with neutral furnishings and simple textiles to highlight its sculptural form, or with other colorful glass objects to create a curatorial dialogue. Directional lighting is recommended to accentuate the vibrant play of color and reflections on its gleaming surface.
