The Czech Pizzicato bowl, attributed to Hana Machovska for Mstišov/Moser Karlovarske Glass, originates from the 1960s. This piece features an asymmetrical, organic silhouette with softly rounded corners—hallmarks of Czechoslovak mid-century artistic experimentation. Crafted from thick-walled art glass in delicate yellow-green tones, it incorporates subtle accents of pale blue and amber within the layers. The exterior is perfectly smooth and highly polished, maximizing translucency; intentional air bubbles are sealed within, trailing in a controlled pattern from the base to the rim. Its proportions are visually stable and weighty, embodying technical mastery and physical presence. The bowl is preserved in excellent condition, virtually unchanged from its original state. This bowl echoes the glassmaking revolution of the 1960s, when workshops like Mstišov and Karlovarske Glass stood at the forefront of European design and Hana Machovska pursued organic, luminous forms. The fluid rim guides the gaze around the vessel, while gradients of green and blue—interrupted by delicate bubbles—recall the play of sunlight on a river’s surface. It is a subtle dialogue between geometry and liquidity, with glass serving not just as a vessel, but as a canvas for the optimistic spirit of the mid-century era. The Pizzicato bowl lends itself as a centerpiece for a coffee table in a living space, where its glass reflections can catch daylight or softly complement evening illumination. It can be combined with slender clear glass vases or mid-century ceramics, and warm-toned natural wood accents—the interplay allowing the vivid colors and organic body of the glass to take the visual
