ABOUT PRODUCTID 14937
Designed by Hana Machovská, this centerpiece is a remarkable example of Czech art glass from the 1960s, produced at the acclaimed Mstisov/Karlovarske Sklo glassworks. The bowl features substantial, hand-formed glass crafted into a low, gently elevated base (measuring 29 cm in diameter, 8.5 cm in height, and 18 cm in depth). Its color scheme employs a fluid gradient, seamlessly transitioning from warm amber-orange through cobalt blue to deep red. The surface is highly polished and smooth, free from seams or molding lines, reflecting refined hand production. The glass maintains full transparency and purity of hue without discoloration or scratches. The condition is excellent—free from any signs of wear, with all optical qualities preserved.
The shape of the bowl seems to narrate the story of the 1960s, a period when Czech glassmaking drew on tradition while exploring modern aesthetics. Its dynamic, asymmetrical contour and soft color transitions evoke movement and spontaneity, hallmarks of Central European modernism. Light is captured and glides along organic waves, enhancing the illusion of color. The tricolor structure embodies the transformations and aspirations of the era, subtly referencing the visual experiments of the 1960s.
The bowl could be paired with minimalist ceramic vessels, matte metal, or neutral textiles to highlight its sculptural presence in a living room or as a centerpiece on a table. It suits both mid-century modern interiors—placed as a standalone piece on a sideboard or console—and more eclectic settings, where a bold accent enlivens the space. It may be displayed on a light surface or grouped with clear glass objects to magnify its interplay of light and color.
