Exceptionally large and heavy vintage glass bowl by Josef Hospodka for Chřibská, Czechoslovakia, from the 1960s.
The sculptural bowl is made of solid Bohemian art glass with intense cranberry or raspberry pink, enclosed by clear glass. Particularly characteristic is the free-formed, highly curved silhouette with wide, extended glass sections and a solid transparent base.
The color effect changes from strong pink to transparent rosé depending on the viewing angle and light incidence due to the different glass thicknesses. With a diameter of around 35 cm and a weight of about 4 kg, the bowl has an exceptionally monumental presence.
Josef Hospodka was one of the significant designers of the post-war Czechoslovak glass production and worked closely with the traditional glassworks Chřibská. His organically shaped designs made of solid, colored overlaid glass are now among the characteristic examples of Bohemian art glass from the 1960s. Hospodka was the chief designer for Borské Sklo and Chřibská from 1958 to 1970.
