Crafted in the 1970s this piece exemplifies Hospodka's creativity and the exceptional skill and technical mastery of Chribska Glassworks. The design features a distinctive shape that blends elements of a bowl, basket, and dish. At its centre, bright green glass transitions into darker yellow tones, all encased within a thick wall of sparkling crystal-clear Czech glass. The smooth, organic form beautifully highlights the gradient hues of the encased glass, creating a striking visual effect. This unique style of glassmaking, known as metallurgical glass, was achieved through precise moulding, with the shapes further refined by gravity and exposure to high kiln temperatures.
