ABOUT PRODUCTID 30207
This decorative glass centerpiece, designed by Josef Hospodka for the Chřibská glassworks in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, is a quintessential example of mid-century modern design from the region. The bowl features an organic, flower-like form with undulating, asymmetrical edges, hand-shaped from substantial, heavy glass. Its vibrant fuchsia-pink core is encased within a thick layer of clear glass, creating a striking interplay of depth, color, and transparency. The surface is smooth and polished, while the solid, transparent base offers both visual stability and a dynamic light effect. Dimensions: height 12 cm, width 18 cm, rim diameter 15 cm, base diameter 6 cm. The bowl remains in excellent condition—clear, without cracks or chips, and only minor, natural scratches on the underside are visible, typical for authentic vintage pieces.This object echoes the spirit of 1960s Czechoslovakian optimism, when art glass became a vehicle for creative self-expression. Its form recalls the unfolding of a flower, as if the bowl were caught in motion—soft lines evoke the freedom and energy of an era when color and light were used to convey modernity and boldness in design. The weight of the glass and the intensity of the hue are a testament to Josef Hospodka's unique craft, capturing both dynamism and harmony within the piece. The centerpiece brings vitality and the atmosphere of the period into any space, where applied art was both decoration and statement.This bowl could serve as a focal point in a living room arrangement, especially among mid-century modern elements or eclectic
