Adolf Matura Punch Bowl Set
Code: 2604006Product detailed description
Amber-coloured glass punch bowl set produced by the Rosice glassworks in the 1970s, based on a design by Adolf Matura, as part of the 'Prague' collection. Matura was a glass artist and designer who had a significant influence on the field of moulded glass. He contributed to the development of metal moulds by using a new direct-casting technique, which sped up production and reduced costs. He collaborated with glassworks such as Moser, Borské sklo, Sklo Union Teplice and Kavalier. His own designs were recognised at Expo ’58 in Brussels, the Triennale of Applied Arts in Milan in 1957 and 1960, and Expo ’67 in Montreal.
The set comprises one large bowl with a lid, six tall glasses, three short glasses, and five smaller glasses. It is made of thick-walled, amber-coloured, moulded glass, decorated with various small relief motifs. The set has been cleaned, it is in good original condition. However, one tall glass has a chipped rim and the underside of the large bowl's lid is chipped in places.
