ABOUT PRODUCTID 1899
This vase, designed by Jozef Hospodka in the 1960s for the Chribska glassworks in the Czech Republic, exemplifies the mid-century modern era’s fascination with sculptural form and saturated color. Crafted from artistic, hand-formed glass, it features a flowing, floral-inspired silhouette with pronounced, wing-like extensions rising from the body. The color transitions—lime green at the top, blending seamlessly into warm amber-red at the base, and finishing with a clear, polished foot—demonstrate mastery in layered colored glasswork. The surface is flawlessly smooth and glossy, the glass thick and substantial, with visible, harmonious layering of hues. The base is hand-ground and flat, emphasizing its artisanal quality. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, showing no chips, scratches, or visible signs of use. The form tells the story of 1960s Czech glassmaking: fluid lines, expressive upward curves, and organic inspiration. This piece speaks to the era’s bold design—designers explored sculptural shapes and innovative colorwork, merging light and glass into a seamless whole. The vase appears to capture the moment a flower opens, with color transitions that animate the interior with shifting reflections. It can be displayed as a standalone decorative accent on a sideboard or console, where natural light will enhance the vibrancy of its colors. The vase works well in mid-century modern interiors, surrounded by simple wooden, glass, or metal forms. It may be paired with other art glass objects from the same period or placed against a plain wall to emphasize its sculptural silhouette. Combining it with neutral textiles or ceramic accessories will highlight the intensity of its color transitions and its organic glass artistry.
