ABOUT PRODUCTID 10308
This decorative glass bowl from the 'Rhapsody' collection, designed by František Zemek in the 1960s for the Czechoslovak Škrdlovice glassworks, demonstrates the artistry of hand-blown glass from the mid-century modern era. The organic, freeform silhouette with undulating, asymmetrical edges is rendered in thick, hand-blown glass. The clear base is interwoven with dynamic ribbons of vibrant color: cobalt blue, emerald green, amber yellow, and orange merge fluidly, creating a sense of movement and depth. The highly polished, glossy surface enhances the play of light and color, shifting with every change in illumination. The bowl's construction is seamless, with softly rounded and meticulously polished edges, free from visible joints or seams. The bowl shows no signs of use, damage, or restoration—retaining its original, excellent condition.This bowl resonates with the voice of 1960s Czech modernism: glass that seems to flow, carrying with it the boldness of color and a spirit of experiment. The form—dynamic yet harmonious—echoes a time when designers drew inspiration from nature and the expressive potential of materials. The interplay of colors suggests energy captured within molten glass, while the light dancing across the surface preserves a fleeting sense of movement, as if the bowl were holding an ephemeral moment of transformation.The bowl is well suited for display on a low console or as a centerpiece, where light can reveal the depth of its colors and the clarity of the glass. It can be paired with other glass objects from the 1960s or minimalist ceramics to highlight its sculptural qualities. The piece fits naturally in mid-century modern-inspired interiors, eclectic collector’s spaces, or contemporary galleries. Combining it with a neutral background will allow its full color composition to stand out.
