{"product_id":"czechoslovakian-art-glass-cats-head-vase-and-bowl-set-pink-1960s","title":"Czechoslovakian Art Glass Cat's Head Vase and Bowl Set, Pink, 1960s","description":"\u003cp\u003eExceptional pair of Czechoslovakian art glass pieces in a delicate pink tone, comprising a sculptural cat's head vase and a coordinating bowl. The set belongs to the celebrated tradition of mid-century Bohemian glass and reflects the imaginative, organic forms associated with Czechoslovakian art glass of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vase features an expressive sculptural silhouette with a wide upper opening and two lateral projections suggestive of a cat's ears. Rather than reproducing the animal literally, the design transforms a figurative reference into a modern, abstract, and highly characterful object. The bowl complements the vase with a lower, more enveloping presence, creating a harmonious dialogue between height, volume, and function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cat's head form is associated with designs attributed to Josef Hospodka, one of the notable figures in the development of modern Czechoslovakian art glass, known for his free-form shapes and sculptural approach to glass. This pair is presented as a work associated with that design tradition; no signature or documented maker's mark has been identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe glass features a layered construction associated with the Sommerso technique, whose name means \"submerged\" in Italian. A layer of colored glass is encased within another, creating depth, luminosity, and an almost mineral-like appearance. The pink color appears suspended within the glass, while the edges and thickness of the material capture and reflect light in changing ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold as a set of two. Condition: Good, wear consistent with age and use. Dimensions: vase 9 in H x 6 in W x 3.8 in D; bowl 4.5 in H x 9.6 in W x 9.6 in D.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regiment of Love","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":50553709625583,"sku":"LU10969251495572","price":693.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/0613\/7327\/files\/IMG_9112_bg_processed.jpg?v=1787225495","url":"https:\/\/regimentoflove.com\/products\/czechoslovakian-art-glass-cats-head-vase-and-bowl-set-pink-1960s","provider":"Regiment of Love","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
