AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An eye-catching piece of art glass, crafted from solid, heavy glass of high quality. The form features a dynamic, twisted interior and smooth color transitions in shades of green, amber, and smoky brown.

Stylistically, the vase strongly references projects attributed to Josef Hospodka for Chribska Glassworks (Czechoslovakia, 1960s–70s). Based on the form, fabrication technique, and coloration, it is most likely a work from that artistic circle.

:Szkło formowane, wielowarstwowe (sommerso), z efektem optycznego skrętu

Height: approx. 18 cm
Width: approx. 10 cm

:Very good condition – no cracks and no chips. Minimal signs of use consistent with age.

:Decorative and collectible item in the Czech modernist style. An excellent example of artistic glass design from the second half of the 20th century.
