Glass Vase by Josef Hospodka Sold
DSCF3924_2

Multicolored glass vase designed by Czech designer Josef Hospodka . Hospodka is best known at Chribská for his brightly coloured organic forms designed from the mid-1950s-60s, and inspired by glass produced on Murano. However,  he was considerably more inventive, and utilised fully the hot-working talents of the glassmakers at Chribská. This unusual range is typical of that inventiveness. Typical items of the so-called Brussels Era. It's in good original condition, small crack on the bottom and few visible scratches due to its age.

Josef Hospodka (1923-89) studied at the State School for Graphic Arts in Prague from 1938-40, followed by the School for Decorative Arts in Prague from 1940-45 under Professor Holecek.
