This sculptural glass vase by Josef Hospodka, created for the Chribska glassworks in 1960s Czechoslovakia, reflects the organic, asymmetric lines and modernist design language of the mid-century era. Its thick, polished glass features a seamless gradient: from semi-transparent, cool blue and delicate green accents near the rim and biomorphic protrusions, to a clear, transparent base. The hand-blown construction is unified, with no visible joints, while lustrous, almost mirror-like surfaces echo the craftsmanship characteristic of Hospodka's experimental work. Undulating edges and pronounced, flowing contours impart a dynamic silhouette, and the vase's solidity ensures stability for use as either a vessel or decorative centerpiece. Condition: very good, with no chips, cracks, or noticeable signs of wear. The surface remains pristine and clear, preserving the design's original radiance.The fluid form and energetic color transitions recall the spirit of 1960s Czechoslovak modernism, when glass was treated as a medium of endless innovation and creative liberty. This vase seems to capture light like flowing water—its appearance shifting subtly with the changing day or setting. It channels an era of artistic discovery, where craftsmanship and imagination met in bold, expressive gestures. The piece holds the graphic energy of its time, as though each new interior could inspire a new story within its glossy contours.Placed on a sideboard or console table, the vase pairs well with wood surfaces typical of mid-century modern décor. It can serve as a stand-alone showpiece among other art glass or vintage ceramics. The design invites arrangement with richly colored textiles or 1960s upholstered chairs to harmonize with its
