ABOUT PRODUCTID 18623
This centerpiece bowl, designed in the 1960s by Josef Hospodka for the Chribska glassworks in then-Czechoslovakia, exemplifies the artistry of Central European mid-century modern glass. Crafted from pressed glass, it features a fluid, asymmetrical silhouette with soft, organic undulations and gentle, hand-formed curves. The main body displays a clear glass base suffused with a pink hue that gradually fades toward the rim, where a distinct light green accent creates subtle visual contrast. There are no applied decorations; the decorative appeal lies solely in the refined gradation of color and the highly polished, lustrous surface. The hand-shaped central swirls and undulating forms reflect Hospodka's masterful skill. Its condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or signs of wear — the original clarity and shine have been fully preserved.This piece offers a quiet yet expressive narrative of 1960s Czechoslovak design. Its dynamic, free-flowing lines seem to suspend motion in glass, evoking the designer’s energetic process as he shaped molten material. The color transitions are evocative rather than literal, as if the tint itself were a wave that radiates gently before retreating at the edges. The perfectly smooth surface holds a mirror to its era, embodying a meeting of craft tradition and modern functional aesthetics.The centerpiece would fit seamlessly into mid-century modern interiors, where it could be paired with warm wooden credenzas or low tables with chrome frames. On a coffee table or behind glass in a display case, it becomes a striking accent; it may be complemented with simple
