ABOUT PRODUCTID 21200
This large glass fish sculpture, created in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, is a distinctive example of mid-century modern European art glass. Hand-blown, it features a dynamic, multicolored palette: deep cobalt blue, saturated red, vivid yellow, and accents of white blend organically in freeform transitions. The fish’s body is substantial yet elongated and streamlined, with a geometric, stylized silhouette characteristic of the mid-century aesthetic. The mirror-like gloss of the surface enhances the vibrancy of the colors, while the fins, tail, and dorsal ridge—crafted from clear glass with ribbed texture—subtly contrast the colorful torso, introducing a sense of delicacy and movement. The sculpture is hollow and free-standing, imparting visual lightness while maintaining a strong presence in any setting. The condition is described as excellent, with no signs of damage, chips, or restoration.Through its form and color, this glass fish tells the story of its era. Its silhouette recalls the optimism and boldness of 1960s designers who effortlessly transcended the boundaries of traditional craft in pursuit of new, expressive solutions. The interplay of colors and the way light plays on its glossy surface evoke an atmosphere of experimentation—as if each detail were the result of creative play with color and reflection, so typical of Central European art glass. In this sculpture, one senses both the rhythm of modernism and a touch of nostalgia for a time when everyday objects became small works of art.
