ABOUT PRODUCTID 1820
This decorative bowl, designed by Jozef Hospodka and crafted circa 1960 at the Chribska glassworks in the Czech Republic, is a distinct example of mid-century modern Czech art glass. Its organic, flower-inspired form features softly undulating, asymmetrical edges and a dynamic, sculptural silhouette. The glass surface is highly polished and luminous, with a translucent cool pink base that transitions in a gradient to clear glass at the rim. The base is accented by vibrant green and subtle yellow tones, creating a multicolored effect typical of Hospodka’s work. The proportions are harmonious: a wide, shallow body (22 cm diameter) rests on a small, substantial foot. The underside is finely ground and signed 'Bohemia.' The bowl is preserved in excellent condition, with no damage, scratches, or visible signs of wear. This piece resonates with the spirit of the 1960s, when Czech glassmaking pushed the boundaries of color and form, shifting from pure functionality toward artistic expression. Its floral shape captures a moment of bloom frozen in glass, while the irregular rim speaks of the spontaneity and creative boldness of the era’s designers. The interplay of colors evokes the effect of light passing through stained glass, highlighting the sensuality and lightness that defined Czech artistic glass of the period. The bowl would serve as a striking accent in a mid-century modern living room or an eclectic collector’s interior. It can be paired with a low teak sideboard, geometric vases, or minimalist sculptures to emphasize its organic silhouette. Positioned as a centerpiece on a table or console, the bowl’s translucent colors come alive in diffused light—either complemented by other pieces from this series or displayed solo to let its form and hues take center stage.
