ABOUT PRODUCTID 14055
This glass vase, designed by Josef Hospodka for the Chribska glassworks in the 1960s, exemplifies the sculptural approach typical of Czechoslovakian modernism. Its organic, asymmetrical silhouette flows from an intense, cool blue at the rim through saturated violet and soft pink hues to an almost transparent, thick base. The vase features a seamless construction; the polished, glossy finish acts as a mirror, reflecting its surroundings and amplifying the depth of color. Undulating, slightly upward-curving edges accentuate the freeform, biomorphic character of the design. The substantial glass provides stability, making the piece well-suited for displaying flowers or serving as a stand-alone decorative accent. Condition: very good, with no cracks, chips, or signs of wear; the surface remains pristine.This vase echoes the spirit of Czechoslovak avant-garde during the 1960s, recalling the confidence of designers who approached glass both as a functional material and a medium for artistic experimentation. The intermingling colors and dynamic contours suggest a moment of frozen movement, as if the vase contains a glimpse of luminous theatre. The shimmering surface rhythmically plays with light—scattering and gathering reflections—evoking the creative unrest that defined the modernist era.It can be placed on a sideboard or console in a living room, where natural or focused light will highlight its shifting colors and sculptural profile. The vase pairs well with other glass or ceramic pieces from the mid-century period and with teak or veneered furniture, subtly reinforcing its artistic provenance. In collector interiors, it can serve either as a statement piece or as part of an ensemble of vintage Czech objects.No specific
