Sommerso Coupe Josef Hospodka - Bohemian Glass Art Design - Circa 60

This piece is the work of Josef Hospodka (1923-1989), one of the most influential glass designers of the post-war era. Artistic director of the famous glassworks Chřibská in Czechoslovakia, Hospodka is known for his bold organic shapes and mastery of chromatic contrasts. His "floral" style has become an emblematic signature of Eastern European design from the 1960s. Expert Technique: This cut uses the prestigious Sommerso technique (literally "submerged"). This complex process involves layering different coloured glass during blowing, creating effects of depth and fascinating light play. Here, a sunny yellow heart is encased in vibrant fuchsia pink, all protected by a thick wall of pure crystal. Quality of Craftsmanship: Entirely handmade, this piece stands out for its density (700g) and exceptional brilliance. Its sculptural curves, reminiscent of a flower's corolla in full bloom, make it a sought-after collector's item. Details: • Dimensions: Diameter 15 cm | Height 6 cm. • Condition: Perfect condition, with minor usage scratches under the base. • Era: Circa 1960. Shipping: Your item will be handled with the utmost care. The packaging will be extremely meticulous, using multi-layer protections and professional materials for total safety during transport.
