ABOUT PRODUCTID 20327
This large, hand-formed glass vase, designed by Josef Hospodka for the Chribska glassworks in 1970s Czechoslovakia, features a bold lime green color that gradually transitions to clear glass at the solid, transparent base. Characteristic of mid-century modern aesthetics, the vase displays organic, flowing lines, an asymmetrical sculptural silhouette, and flared, undulating edges with pronounced wing-like extensions that add a dynamic, almost floral quality. The glass is thick and heavy with a high-gloss finish, and hand-formed details are visible in subtle irregularities and the smooth, tactile surface. There are no chips or cracks; only minor surface scratches are present, typical for its age and authentic use. Condition: very good, with minimal signs of time and wear.This vase tells the story of the 1970s—a period when Central European glassware became a statement of artistic freedom. Its form evokes an unfolding exotic flower: dynamic, full of movement, yet harmonious in proportion. The lime color pulses with light, while the clear base makes the vibrant top appear almost weightless above a table. It reflects the optimism of modernism, celebrating both the precision of craftsmanship and the courage of experimentation.The vase can be displayed on a low sideboard of light wood or marble, where the lime-to-clear gradient will interact beautifully with natural light. It works well as a sculptural solo accent in a mid-century modern living room, or alongside other glass pieces from the era or minimalist ceramics. Pairing it with plants featuring large, dark green leaves or a single decorative branch will allow its dynamic outline to stand out in contemporary, collector-oriented interiors.
