This art glass bowl or ashtray from the 1960s, attributed to Josef Hospodka for Chribska Sklarna, represents Bohemian studio glass in the spirit of mid-century modernism. Its organic, freeform silhouette emerges from cased-glass artistry: the undulating body transitions seamlessly from a vivid amber-pink at the rim to a clear glass at the base. The highly polished, glossy finish highlights tonal gradations and refracted light, visible on the impeccably smooth surface. No overt decorations or patterns distract from the inherent beauty of the material and its interplay with illumination. Compact in scale at 10 × 16 × 8 cm, the piece is comfortable to handle. The overall condition is very good, with no damages or visible wear—merely the faintest signs of age typical for carefully preserved vintage glass. This bowl calls forth the voice of Bohemian 1960s glass: a dialogue between liberated, sculptural geometry and the refinement of Czech design traditions. It narrates an era when vivid shapes and colors were responses to the postwar fascination with light and matter. Like a frozen wave, the object captures shifting reflections, and the warm amber-pink hue alludes to the underlying modern optimism of its time. It could be showcased as a focal point on a minimalist wooden table or marble console, arranged with other studio glass pieces—both transparent and in complementary hues. The piece would perform well in interiors inspired by mid-century modern or eclectic, collector-driven settings, where both practical use and decorative impact are appreciated. Pairing with minimalist ceramics or a mirrored tray may fully enhance the play of light through its layered glass structure.
