Organic Art Vase Josef Hospodka - Sommerso Ruby/Mandarin

Sculptural piece of remarkable intensity, an authentic creation by the master Josef Hospodka for the Chřibská factory. This organic vase is a vibrant testament to the excellence of Czechoslovak art glass from the 1960s-1970s, a time when Bohemian design redefined the forms of blown glass. Crafted through demanding manual work, this vase employs the sophisticated Sommerso technique. The piece reveals a rare and fascinating chromatic contrast: a vibrant mandarin orange glass parison is captured within a clear crystal glass envelope, then dressed in a deep ruby hue. Under light, the piece comes alive, playing with warm reflections ranging from mandarin to intense ruby glints. Its fluid curves, with pinched lobes and flared neck, give it a unique architectural presence. Dimensions and weight: Height: 22 cm. Width: 12 cm. Weight: 1.654 kg. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The brilliance is perfect, highlighting the purity of the material. No chips, cracks, or internal cloudiness to report. As with any historical piece of this quality, only very light usage scratches under the base attest to its authenticity. As an expert, I guarantee obsessive care in packaging: double boxing and reinforced protections are used to ensure secure delivery to your home.
