ABOUT PRODUCTID 16126
This hand-blown art glass bowl from the renowned Skrdlovice glassworks, attributed to Jaroslav Beránek and dating from the 1960s, embodies the hallmarks of Czech mid-century modern artistry. The bowl’s organic, asymmetrical silhouette is characterized by fluid, biomorphic curves and a gently undulating rim. Its thick, sometimes optically distorted walls provide a sense of sculptural depth and create rich, shifting light reflections that highlight the artisanal skill involved. The honey-amber coloration, with medium to high saturation and semi-translucent quality, resonates with the golden palette distinctive to the era. The glossy, highly reflective surface is free from additional decoration, while a polished solid base ensures stability. The condition is excellent; only minimal, superficial micro-scratches consistent with age are visible and there is no evidence of restoration, preserving its authentic character. This bowl speaks in the language of the 1960s, evoking a time when Czech glassmakers looked to organic forms and creative freedom for inspiration. Its soft contours and the depth of amber translucence conjure images of morning light filtering through dense foliage. Each ripple and optical irregularity in the glass serves as a record of the maker’s experimentation, balancing sculptural presence with functional intent. Ornamentation is unnecessary—its expression lies in the purity of its form and the shifting intensity of its color as light changes throughout the day. The Skrdlovice bowl would serve as a distinct accent on a dining table, coffee table, or sideboard, enhancing both mid-century modern settings and eclectic vintage collections. It could be paired with era ceramics or minimalist teak and metal objects, to amplify the interplay of light and amber tones. Displayed alone on a pale surface, or as part of a curated group of art glass, the bowl becomes a refined composition of hues and textures.
