Mini Story:

A striking mid-century Czech art glass vase attributed to renowned designer Josef Hospodka for Chribska Glassworks. Featuring rich amethyst tones flowing into a heavy clear cased base, the vase displays the dramatic organic styling that made Czech glass of the 1960s and 1970s so collectible worldwide.

The flowing folded rim, sculptural ribbed form and substantial weight give the piece incredible presence and beautifully capture light from every angle. A wonderful statement piece for collectors of Murano, Scandinavian and mid-century art glass alike.
