A BIT OF HISTORY The founding of Chřibská Glassworks dates back to 1414 and is considered to be one of the oldest glassworks in the world. Chřibská operated without interruption for almost six centuries, the glassworks full name Sklarna Chribska was based in the Czech Republic and was well-known for their sculptural art glass vases and bowls. Chribska remained in production until very recently and eventually became part of the Borske Sklo National Corporation during the 1950s. Josef Hospodka (b. 1923 - d. 1989) studied at the State School for Graphic Arts in Prague from 1938-40, followed by the School for Decorative Arts in Prague from 1940-45 under Professor Holecek. He was the head of the glass cutting department at the Specialised School for Glassmaking at Novy Bor from 1945-51, headmaster at the Chribskà glassworks training school from 1951-58, and head designer at the Borské Sklo glassworks from 1858-60, and from 1964-70. He is best known for his many highly successful and prolifically produced colourful and curving hot-worked designs produced for Chribskà, of which he was a director from 1960-64. "Hospodka is best known at Chribská for his brightly coloured organic forms designed from the mid-1950s-60s and inspired by glass produced on Murano. However, he was considerably more inventive, and utilised fully the hot-working talents of the glassmakers at Chribská." - Source: Mark Hill, author, publisher, TV presenter, and a leading specialist dealer in postwar Czechoslovakian glass. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Measurements: 4-1/4" H x 14-3/4" L x 7-1/2" W Weight: 4.47 lbs.
