ABOUT PRODUCTID 16847
Produced by the Wilhelm Kralik Sohn manufactory in Czechoslovakia in the 1920s, this centerpiece bowl is made of glass with a distinct iridescent finish. The dominant hue is a warm, saturated amber, enriched with golden, pinkish, and violet undertones—characteristic for early twentieth-century art glass. Measuring 26.5 cm in diameter and 6.5 cm in height, the bowl's thick, gently rounded rim and smooth, glossy surface rely on the interplay of light and color for their visual effect, without decorative patterns or millefiori canes. The form aligns with Art Deco style: geometrically pure and minimalist, with no unnecessary ornamentation. The piece is preserved in very good condition, showing only slight surface wear to the iridescent layer at the rim, consistent with age and use. This bowl carries the echo of early twentieth-century Bohemian glassworks and salon tables—its material captures light like a pane of heated amber, with reflections shifting softly from gold to violet, evoking the cultural peak of Art Deco in Central Europe. The reserved elegance speaks of a time when luxury was found in material quality and refined craft, not in abundant embellishment. The substantial rim suggests durability; the luminous surface, a continued appreciation for the artistry of old Czechoslovak workshops. Such a bowl would suit both an Art Deco-inspired living room and an eclectic interior with polished brass, dark wood, or pale ceramics. It can be paired with a marble tabletop, displayed on a 1930s sideboard, or placed alongside modern minimalist vases in contrasting tones. Its play of light will be most pronounced where it can catch the sun—on a dining table, a hallway console, or among a collection of artistic glassware. Not applicable
