An Icon of Czechoslovak Design – the "Tulip" Vase/Patera by Josef Hospodka for the Chřibská Sklárna Glassworks
For sale is an original, highly decorative vase made of heavy, very thick art glass. Designed by the renowned designer Josef Hospodka and produced at the renowned Czechoslovak Chřibská Sklárna Glassworks at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, it is a flagship and internationally acclaimed example of post-war organic design.
Distinguishing Features:
Phenomenal Color: The interior of the vessel is decorated with a contrasting and extremely fashionable color scheme – a deep, saturated pink (fuchsia) seamlessly blends with a lime-green shade at the base. The entire piece is encased in a thick layer of clear sodium glass. Milky Overlock Thread: The upper, wavy edge, shaped like flower petals, is finished and accentuated with embedded white glass thread. This rare detail gives the item a unique expressiveness.
Collectible Character: The combination of pink, green, and a white edge in Hospodka's designs is one of the most sought-after and photogenic combinations, perfectly suited to retro, mid-century modern, and space-age interiors.
