Bohémia Crystal Ashtray Josef Hospodka Blue Vintage 1960

Sculptural glass vide-poche made of solid art glass, an authentic masterpiece of Mid-Century Modern design (1960s-1970s). Designed by the renowned designer Josef Hospodka for the Czechoslovak manufacture of Chřibská, this exceptional piece is a true gem in the history of glassmaking. With remarkable craftsmanship, the object fascinates with its organic hot modelling technique: its elegantly stretched lobes capture light from all angles. Its heart of vibrant and precious azure blue is masterfully encased in a thick translucent shell, a prestigious Sommerso technique. Its base, perfectly ground and polished flat, showcases the highest level of artisanal skill. A true luminous sculpture, this art object integrates perfectly into contemporary, retro, or Scandinavian decor, adding a vibrant and vintage "pop of colour." Ideal as a centrepiece, prestigious ashtray, or gallery vide-poche. Condition: Excellent vintage condition, brilliant shine, no chips or milky haze. Dimensions: Height 8cm | Length 16cm | Width 13.5cm | Weight: 754g. Ultra-careful shipping: Aware of the fragility of this piece, I place absolute importance on its safety. The object will be shipped in professional over-protected packaging (double boxing, reinforced bubble wrap) for perfect reception.
