ABOUT PRODUCTID 11609
Designed by Hanna Machanowska for the Mstisov Glassworks in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, this centerpiece bowl exemplifies the organic aesthetic of mid-century modern glass design. The hand-blown form features undulating, asymmetrical edges that evoke the image of a blooming flower or fluid drapery. The glass displays a seamless transition from transparent amber to deep cobalt blue, with subtle greenish hues appearing where the colors merge. Small air bubbles within the glass highlight the artisanal, hand-crafted character, while the highly polished surface enhances its luminous quality and the interplay of light and color. The bowl rests on a clear, integrated base that offers stability without interrupting the fluidity of the overall silhouette. The piece is notable for its blending of color, continuous lines, and the absence of visible seams. Condition is very good—there are no chips, cracks, or structural flaws, only minimal signs of careful age.This bowl echoes the voice of Czechoslovak modernism in the 1960s, a time when glass artists embraced organic forms and experimental color transitions, moving away from geometric symmetry toward natural expression. Its shape recalls the gradual opening of a flower or the gentle fold of fabric, while the interplay of amber and cobalt hues conjures the impression of a sunset captured in glass. Each refraction of light across the surface tells a story of creative freedom and an era inspired by the rhythms of nature.In a contemporary setting, the bowl can be placed on a light-colored console or dining table, where its colors and luminous effects will be most visible. It pairs well with understated ceramics in muted tones, glass vases, or geometric candleholders. In minimalist or mid-century modern collector's interiors, it may be displayed alone as a focal point, allowing its form and chromatic depth to command the space.No additional technical details or care instructions are provided.
