Bring a striking piece of 1960s Czech art glass into your interior with this beautiful vintage chartreuse glass bowl, attributed to renowned Czech designer Josef Hospodka for the Chřibská glassworks.

The bowl has an expressive, organic silhouette with a dramatic flared and folded rim, creating an almost flower-like sculptural form. Its vibrant chartreuse yellow-green colour gives the piece a distinctive Mid-Century Modern character, while the flowing shape beautifully demonstrates the sculptural quality of Czech art glass from the period.

With its generous 27 cm depth, this is a substantial decorative object that works equally well as a functional bowl or as a standalone piece of vintage glass sculpture.

A Distinctive Vintage Czech Glass Bowl

This vintage chartreuse Chřibská art glass bowl, attributed to Josef Hospodka, is an expressive example of the organic aesthetic of 1960s Czech glass design.

Its unusual folded rim, generous proportions and vibrant yellow-green colour make it much more than a conventional serving bowl. It can be appreciated as a functional vessel, decorative centrepiece or sculptural piece of vintage Mid-Century Modern art glass.

A wonderful addition to a collection of Czech art glass, Chřibská glass and Josef Hospodka designs, or to an interior looking for a distinctive vintage statement piece.

Josef Hospodka & Chřibská Glass

Josef Hospodka is recognised for his expressive approach to Czech glass design, particularly the organic, sculptural forms associated with the Mid-Century Modern period.

The Chřibská glassworks became known for distinctive Czech glass with bold colours and flowing forms. Pieces from the 1960s are particularly appealing to collectors because of their combination of strong sculptural shapes, vibrant colour and experimental glass design.

This bowl is attributed to Josef Hospodka, making the attribution an important part of its collector appeal while appropriately distinguishing it from a definitively signed or documented piece.

A Sculptural Piece of 1960s Czech Art Glass

The most distinctive feature of this bowl is its folded, undulating rim. Rather than following a regular circular edge, the glass rises and folds organically, giving the bowl the appearance of a stylised flower or abstract natural form.

The chartreuse colour adds another layer of visual impact. Depending on the surrounding light, the yellow-green glass can appear vibrant and luminous, making it particularly effective as a focal point in a room.

It is a wonderful choice for collectors of:

Josef Hospodka glass
Chřibská glass
Czech art glass
Czechoslovakian glass
1960s Mid-Century Modern design
Organic art glass
Sculptural vintage glass
Chartreuse and yellow-green glass

Styling Tips

As a Centrepiece
Place the bowl on a dining table or coffee table and leave it empty so the sculptural folded rim remains the focus.

Mid-Century Sideboard
Display it on a teak or walnut sideboard alongside other vintage glass, ceramics and sculptural objects.

Modern Interior
The unusual chartreuse colour works beautifully against neutral walls, natural stone and minimalist furniture, providing a strong accent without needing additional decoration.

With Decorative Objects
Use it to hold small decorative objects, pinecones or other non-abrasive items while keeping the sculptural form visible.

Collector's Display
Pair it with other Czech art glass from the 1960s to create a colourful and historically interesting display.
