ABOUT PRODUCTID 1916
This bowl from the 'Propeller' set, designed by Jan Kotik in 1955 for the Skrdlovice glassworks, is an example of 1950s Czechoslovak modernism. Hand-formed from crystal glass, it features a dynamic, sculptural form with asymmetrical, undulating folds and thick, rounded edges. The multicolored palette—dominated by deep amethyst purple, cobalt blue, and subtle notes of emerald green and pink—blends organically, creating an almost iridescent effect. The glass has a high-gloss, polished surface that enhances the depth and intensity of the colors, while the flat, ground base attests to the high standard of craftsmanship. The bowl’s surface is smooth to the touch, with slight variations characteristic of artisanal work. Height: 8.5 cm, diameter: 16 cm. The condition is excellent, with no damages or signs of wear. The shape of this bowl evokes the spirit of exploration and creative freedom typical of 1950s Czechoslovakian glass. Its organic contours and rich colors narrate the story of designers who, by experimenting with material and hue, pushed beyond the boundaries of tradition. Suspended between light and color, the bowl seems to tell its own tale of modernity and expression, where every fold and reflection recalls the artistic independence of postwar Central Europe. The bowl may serve as a focal point on
