ABOUT PRODUCTID 17713
This art glass bowl, designed by František Zemek in the 1960s, exemplifies Bohemian glass artistry of the mid-century modern era, distinguished by a bold, biomorphic form. Its dominant hue is a cool, vibrant pink, seamlessly transitioning to clear accents at the edges and base. The bowl is crafted from thick, hand-blown glass with a substantial weight and glossy, smooth surface; the undulating, petal-like rim accentuates its organic character. Its sculptural proportions and dynamic outline evoke the image of a water splash captured in motion. All components are original and authentic; there are no signs of wear, damage, or restoration — the bowl is preserved in excellent condition.This object carries the voice of modernist Czechoslovakia, a period when glass became a medium for new ideas and a fascination with nature. The wide bowl, formed in asymmetric, fluid curves, conjures the instant a stone strikes the water’s surface: the wave, the reflection, the fleeting moment of movement. The pink glass catches and diffuses light softly over its surface, while the clear accents at the rim glimmer like droplets. Its form tells of Czech glassmakers’ devotion to experimentation, each detail a thoughtful result of the dialogue between craftsmanship and nature.The bowl could serve as the centerpiece on a credenza or coffee table, particularly in a mid-century modern or eclectic collector’s interior. It works well with minimalist furniture in light wood, chrome accents, and Murano glass objects. One might pair it with understated textile elements — soft wool or velvet — that accentuate the glass’s luminous qualities. Combined with neutral ceramics or classic graphic art, it creates a striking composition, its biomorphic form enlivening even the most pared-back setting.No additional technical or care instructions are included
