"Star" Basket Josef Hospodka - Bohemian Crystal Chribska - Gal State

Discover this masterful piece of organic design from the 1960s, created by the glass master Josef Hospodka for the Chribska factory (Bohemia). This sculptural basket, measuring 28 cm in length, is a rare technical feat. Its complex 8-lobe structure is distinguished by 6 dynamic horizontal points and 2 vertically stretched central lobes that are then hot-folded to form an airy handle. Using the "Sommerso" technique, it features a deep cobalt blue core that diffuses with magnetic intensity into cranberry pink lobes, all suspended in a clear crystal of absolute transparency. • Rare Design: The "basket" variant with a handle is significantly more complex and sought after than classic open bowls. • Quality of Manufacture: A substantial weight of 1.65 kg attests to the exceptional density of Bohemian crystal. • Artisan Finish: The base is perfectly ground and polished flat. • Gallery Condition: An example of rare freshness, with no chips on the points and a base almost free of micro-scratches from use. A true collector's piece, this centrepiece captures light to become the focal point of any elegant interior or art glass collection. Dimensions: Length 28 cm|Height 15 cm|Width 12 cm|Weight: 1.65 kg. Shipping will be given special attention: the packaging will be careful, extremely well protected, and secured to ensure receipt in perfect condition.
