A stunning glass piece in exceptional, like-new condition, originally designed as an ashtray but never used as such. Instead, it has lived its life as a decorative art glass bowl, admired purely for its sculptural form and captivating presence.

Created by renowned Czech designer František Zemek, this piece belongs to his celebrated “Water” collection. The design evokes the moment a stone hits the water’s surface—capturing the dynamic splash, ripples, and motion in a single expressive form. Crafted from pink art glass, the bowl radiates light and movement, giving it remarkable emotional and visual depth.

This work is also a testament to the extraordinary glassmaking tradition of Czech master craftsmen, whose skill, experimentation, and commitment to perfection have made Bohemian and Czech glass internationally admired for centuries. Zemek’s ability to translate natural phenomena into elegant sculptural glass is part of this rich heritage.

A beautiful, expressive, and highly collectible piece of Czech art glass—timeless, decorative, and expertly crafted.
