ABOUT PRODUCTID 41581
The 'Starfish' glass bowl, designed by W. Mika for the Moser glassworks in Karlovy Vary during the 1970s, exemplifies the artistry of Czech glassmaking through its bold, biomorphic silhouette. The bowl’s dynamic, organic shape echoes a starfish: five elongated, gently upturned arms radiate from a central base. Crafted from thick, hand-blown glass, the piece shimmers in a transparent, cool blue with subtle gradients of violet and touches of pink, shifting in tone according to the light. The high-gloss, polished finish enhances its luminous and reflective qualities, while the rounded, seamless edges attest to expert craftsmanship and the attention to detail that defined Czech modernism. The bowl remains in very good condition – only minor, age-consistent surface scratches are visible, with no chips or cracks.The bowl captures the spirit of artistic freedom characteristic of the 1970s, an era when Czechoslovak glass art pushed the boundaries of functional form. The 'Starfish' appears to freeze motion, like an organic wave paused in glass: light filters through its colored arms, and the vessel – sometimes cool, sometimes warm – tells a story of color and light experimentation. It quietly evokes the atmosphere of Central European modernist interiors, where sculptural form was both functional and expressive.This bowl would serve as a striking centerpiece on a dining table or console in a contemporary or eclectic living space. It can be paired with other
