Hospodka’s free-form bowls and ashtrays, characterized by their folded, inward-turned rims, are among the most recognizable works of post-war Bohemian studio glass and are collected internationally. His signature style is evident in the soft, lobed rim, the swirling interior ribs, and the bold blue and violet color scheme, all of which define this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim is folded into three soft, inward-turning lobes, which give the bowl a compact, almost flower-like silhouette in profile. Inside, strong glass ribs swirl toward the center, creating a vivid spiral pattern when viewed from above. In the Sommerso technique, a core of vibrant violet and magenta is encased under a thick layer of light aquamarine to sapphire blue; depending on the light, the tones shift between fuchsia, amethyst, and deep blue. The flat-polished base reveals a delicate pink core when viewed through the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally intended as an ashtray, the bowl is now equally suitable as a dish for jewelry, keys, and small items, or as a colorful accent on a sideboard, coffee table, or shelf, fitting perfectly into both Mid-Century and contemporary interiors. The thick-walled glass has a tangible weight and displays the fine traces of its free-form creation. It measures 17 cm in diameter and 10 cm in height and is in very good condition; the base shows only fine, age-appropriate signs of use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Josef Hospodka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254853325147,"sku":"VTG-DCO-057","price":220.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/7641\/9931\/files\/IMG_3252.png?v=1791325541","url":"https:\/\/artfillsspace.com\/en\/products\/chribska-sommerso-schale-blau-violett-josef-hospodka-17-cm-1960er","provider":"ArtFillsSpace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
