Borek Sipek - Platter - Glass - bowl / catch-all tray

Massive glass bowl/vide poche, design Borek Sípek, Czechia/the Netherlands 1980s. A beautiful, solid glass object by the well-known Czech glass artist/architect/furniture designer Borek Sípek (1949-2016). He ran his own studio in the Netherlands for many years. The bowl sits on four rounded legs and rises stepwise to a square with a recessed prism form. Signed SIPEK on the bottom. In this object all geometric shapes come together: circle, trapezoid, square, octagon, prism, etc. The original design featured a green glass carafe; this is an alternative with a red glass ball. The bowl is beautiful in itself, but can also be used as an ashtray or vide poche. Diameter 18 cm, height 6.5 cm. On a very small glaze flake at the bottom edge, otherwise completely intact.

Estimate:$89.65
