Chřibská is considered one of the oldest continuously operating glassworks in Europe, and the free-formed Sommerso bowls in blue and green are among the most typical color schemes of post-war Bohemian studio glass. There is no label or signature on this piece, which is why the attribution is to be understood as a stylistic classification rather than a verified manufacturer's mark; however, the form, technique, and color scheme correspond to the Chřibská bowls of this period known on the collector's market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a round, slightly recessed base, sturdy, plastically applied glass ribs radiate outward and terminate in four widely extended, upward-curved corners. Viewed from above, this creates a four-pointed star shape, and from the side, an elegant, almost floating silhouette. In the Sommerso technique, a luminous core in light aqua and sky blue is fused into thick, clear glass, traversed by fresh yellow-green color trails along the ribs; at the edges, the blue deepens into a rich turquoise and ultramarine tone, and depending on the light, the bowl plays with reflections like water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a fruit bowl, catch-all, or purely decorative object, it unfolds its full effect in backlighting on a sideboard, dining table, or windowsill and fits into a mid-century interior just as well as a modern, minimalist décor. The thick-walled glass has a noticeable weight and shows the fine tool marks of free shaping, including occasional small air bubbles, as are typical for hand-formed studio glass. It measures 27 cm in diameter and 11 cm in height and is in very good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Josef Hospodka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54219124769115,"sku":"VTG-DCO-047","price":220.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/7641\/9931\/files\/IMG_2754.png?v=1790715081","url":"https:\/\/artfillsspace.com\/en\/products\/chribska-sommerso-schale-aquablau-gruen-josef-hospodka-zugeschrieben-27-cm-1960er","provider":"ArtFillsSpace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
