ABOUT PRODUCTID 31181
The 'Tulip' vase designed by Josef Hospodka for the Chřibská glassworks is a distinguished example of Czechoslovakian art glass from the 1960s and 1970s. Standing 23 cm tall, it is crafted from thick, hand-formed soda-lime glass and features a striking color transition: from deep fuchsia pink through a warm, honey-orange base, all encased in a clear, glossy layer. The organic form—with a wavy rim and soft protrusions flowing seamlessly into a sturdy, stable foot—emphasizes both artisanal skill and the modernist sensibility of the era. The vase's surface is smooth and highly polished, with no visible grain or matte areas. It is preserved in very good condition, with no cracks, chips, or deep scratches; only minor micro-scratches on the underside of the base, typical of gentle shelf movement and attesting to its authenticity and age.This vase tells the story of postwar optimism and fascination with organic forms, so characteristic of Central European modernism in the 1960s. Its undulating rim evokes a tulip in bloom, while the vivid color transitions come alive in daylight, becoming a stage for shifting reflections. The hand-shaped body speaks in the language of its era: bold color and fluid lines meet the material solidity of glass, creating an object that decorates and inspires with its presence.The 'Tulip' vase can be paired with other glass objects in contrasting tones or displayed solo on a wooden console to highlight its depth of color and interplay of light and shadow. It would suit mid-century modern arrangements, eclectic interiors, or contemporary spaces where form and light take center stage. Consider combining it with minimal accessories or natural textures to underscore its sculptural qualities and fully appreciate its collectible status.
