ABOUT PRODUCTID 1889
Designed by Jozef Hospodka for the Chribska glassworks circa 1960, this bowl is a striking example of Czech mid-century modern art glass. Crafted from multicolored, hand-formed glass, it draws the eye with its deep, cool amethyst purple that seamlessly transitions into a warm, transparent pink at the base. The organic, undulating lines and sculptural, flower-like silhouette evoke a sense of natural rhythm, highlighted by a wide, irregular rim. Its smooth, glossy surface amplifies the play of light, while the solid base with a polished underside ensures stability. Visible hand-crafted details—soft color gradations and subtle edge transitions—testify to its artisanal origin. The bowl is in excellent condition, free from damage or visible wear. This piece channels the spirit of the 1960s: a freedom of color, daring form, and a sense of playful experimentation. The glass appears to flow—amethyst and pink hues merging like light refracted on water. It tells the story of an optimistic era when Czech glassworks explored new shapes and bold palettes, merging utility with artistic expression. Looking at it, one senses the movement and luminosity of its time, captured and preserved in sculptural form. The bowl could serve as a centerpiece on a living room table or sideboard in a collector's interior. It pairs well with mid-century modern furniture—light woods or simple geometric shapes. It may be combined with other glass objects, whether transparent or in contrasting colors, to highlight its organic silhouette. Alternatively, it can stand alone against a neutral wall, allowing the interplay of color and light to take center stage. The bowl measures 13 cm in height and 33 cm in diameter.
