About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This Mid-Century Modern glass centerpiece bowl was designed by Josef Hospodka for the renowned Chřibská glassworks in the 1960s. The piece exemplifies the expressive, organic forms that defined Czechoslovakian art glass during this era, making it a striking addition to any collection.
Crafted from heavy, hand-blown glass, the bowl features a dynamic, undulating rim that transitions into a robust, textured base. The colourway is a vibrant interplay of deep red and clear, icy blue, which catches and refracts light beautifully. Measuring 29 centimetres in width, the bowl showcases the masterful technique and sculptural quality characteristic of Hospodka's designs.
The bowl remains in good vintage condition, retaining its original structural integrity and vibrant colour. The base shows the expected signs of age, preserving the authentic character of this mid-century piece.
This sculptural bowl serves as a captivating focal point on a dining table, sideboard, or coffee table. Its bold colours and organic silhouette complement both mid-century modern interiors and contemporary spaces, pairing well with natural wood finishes and minimalist decor.
