Lot vase and bowl - Josef Hospodka Chribska - Blue Sommerso - 1960

Exceptional vintage set of Bohemian glass, comprising a sculptural vase and a majestic canoe-shaped bowl. These iconic Mid-Century design creations are attributed to Josef Hospodka for the Chribska factory (circa 1960). The lot perfectly illustrates the mastery of "sommerso" art glass: an intense cobalt blue colour, captured directly in the mass, is enhanced by a thick and luminous layer of translucent crystal. The organic shapes, delicately stretched hot, create stunning light effects. The virtuosity of the glassmaker is particularly expressed on the bowl with a fine blue rim applied hot on the lip, highlighting its aerodynamics in echo to the cobalt core. Of true gallery quality, these massive pieces feature bases with a flat ground pontil, confirming a luxurious high-end finish.
