Large Czech Sommerso Art Glass Vase – Amethyst over Amber with Spiral Trailing – c. 1960s-70s A substantial mid-century Czech art glass vase, likely Chribská glassworks and the design school of Josef Hospodka. The form is tall and sculptural, often described as “avian”, with a drawn, curving neck and an asymmetrical, organic profile. Around the lower body runs a continuous applied trail worked in a spiral, creating a ribbed effect that wraps the form rather than sitting in straight bands. The colour is a classic sommerso combination: deep amethyst cased over warm amber, blending through smoky tones depending on the light. In natural light the upper section reads as a rich purple, while the base glows with a strong amber tone. Heavy and well-balanced, with the confident shaping typical of quality Czech glass from this period. There is a small internal inclusion and light age-related wear. A strong decorative piece with real presence-well suited to both modern interiors and mid-century glass collections.
