ABOUT PRODUCTID 20328
A large, hand-formed glass vase designed by Josef Hospodka at the Chribska glassworks in Czechoslovakia during the 1970s. The vase features a distinctive, organic silhouette reminiscent of a blooming flower or tulip, characteristic of mid-century modern aesthetics. The primary hue is a vibrant, cool pink with a gentle gradient—from saturated, deep pink at the center to nearly translucent, delicate edges. The outer layer of clear glass creates a striking contrast and highlights the sculptural, fluid lines. The vase stands on a stable, transparent base with four elongated 'petals' that flow into the body and culminate in an undulating, asymmetrical rim. The surface is smooth, highly polished, and reflects light elegantly. The condition is very good—no visible damage, chips, or cracks, with only minimal internal residue typical for the age of the piece.This vase speaks in the language of the 1970s: it stands as a vivid accent against the monotony of everyday life, echoing the optimism and search for modern expression in Czechoslovakian design. Its organic form and irregular rim evoke the natural rhythm of glass shaped by a skilled artisan’s hand. The subtle pink gradient, encased in clear glass, gives the impression of color suspended in motion—dynamic yet harmonious. The piece quietly narrates an era when art glass was a statement of creativity and experimentation.The vase is best showcased as a standalone object on a sideboard or console in the living room, where light can accentuate its sculptural profile and translucency. It could be paired with other glass objects from the period—clear or iridescent—to emphasize the richness of texture and color. Interiors in the mid-century
