This decorative bowl, crafted by the Mstišov Glassworks in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, is an example of hand-formed artistic glass from the mid-century modern period. Its organic, freeform silhouette results from the technique of freehand shaping, giving the bowl an asymmetrical, flowing outline with a subtly twisted profile. The transparent base provides a backdrop for vivid color accents: cool blues, yellows, greens, and delicate pink gradients, especially prominent along the upper rim and within the interior. The glass is thick and substantial, with a smooth, highly polished surface and a carefully ground base. The bowl measures 23 cm in length, 11 cm in width, and 9.5 cm in height. It remains in excellent condition without chips or cracks and shows only minimal signs of use. This bowl embodies the voice of Czechoslovakian modernism, which in the 1960s sought harmony between artisanal freedom and experiments with color and light. Its fluid form and glass transparency evoke a sense of movement and transience—as if the shape was captured just as colors merged with light. The high level of craftsmanship and expressive color palette tell the story of an era when glass was no longer just utilitarian, but became a sculpture, a painting, and a play of light within a single object. The bowl works beautifully as a centerpiece on an oak table in the living room or atop a console in the hallway. It can be paired with minimalist, clear glass vases to accentuate its color nuances, or with matte ceramics to enhance the contrast of textures. Spaces styled in mid-century modern fashion, as well as contemporary, eclectic collector's interiors, will benefit from its vibrant point of reference. It is worth combining with soft lighting—such as a table lamp—so that the gradients and the glass’s sheen
