AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Freeform bowl made of hand-blown glass, designed by Josef Hospodka for Glashütte Chřibská (Northern Bohemia), Czechoslovakia, circa 1960/1965. The body shows Hospodka's characteristic color gradient from ruby red through amber to clear glass, wrapped in a thick, clear overlay layer. The rim is irregularly stretched and formed into several facets, the base is a faceted, clearly ground square foot.

No signature, no bottom label present – attribution is based on form, color gradient, and foot design, which align with documented Hospodka works for Chřibská from this period.

Condition: no chips, no cracks, no scratches. Small air inclusions in the glass body are manufacturing defects and not a flaw.
