A unique artistic hospodka ashtray by Josef Hospodka, crafted at the legendary Chřibská glassworks (Czechoslovakia) in the 1960s and 1970s.
This model features the distinctive organic freeform form typical of Czech modernism and Brussels Style / Mid-Century Modern. Dynamic, sculptural shapes with deep cobalt glass immersed in a colorless mass create a fluid, almost sculptural effect.
