Masterpiece of Bohemian glass art from the Mid-Century Modern era, heavy and highly sculptural. This large bowl or centerpiece was designed by the master glassmaker Josef Hospodka for the famous Czechoslovak manufacture Chřibská Glassworks during the 1960s.

It perfectly embodies the artist's organic "Medusa" style, characterized by a wide free neck with wavy and scalloped edges that play spectacularly with light. The piece utilizes the prestigious Sommerso technique, trapping a bicolored core in vibrant shades of fuchsia pink and amethyst purple within a thick and heavy translucent crystal envelope.

The faceted base is hot cut to ensure perfect stability. Designer: Josef Hospodka. Manufacture: Chřibská Glassworks (Czechoslovakia). Epoch: Circa 1960. Dimensions: 26 cm in diameter. Height: 14 cm.
