This glass fish sculpture, designed by Josef Rozinek and Stanislav Honzik for the Exbor glassworks in Novy Bor during the 1960s, exemplifies the excellence of Czechoslovak art glass in the mid-century modern tradition. Measuring 15 cm in length and 11.5 cm in height, the piece is crafted from high-quality crystal glass. Its transparent body features fluid, vivid streaks of amber-gold, deep green, and subtle blue tones, reflecting the era’s emphasis on chromatic harmony and the depth of material. The surface is polished to a mirror-like sheen, while the form is elegantly organic: the stylized shape includes a high dorsal fin, a compact body, and fine engraved details for the mouth and gills, with a glass dot marking the eye. The construction is seamless, with carefully finished edges and minimalistic detailing characteristic of the 1960s’ focus on purity of line and expressive use of color and light. The sculpture is in excellent condition, showing no chips, cracks, or signs of wear; all elements remain original and authentic. The form of this sculpture suggests a narrative of exploration and boldness: the 1960s in Czechoslovakia were a period of searching for a distinct voice in applied arts, where clear glass became a vehicle for light, and color evoked memories of glimmering childhood fish.
