Thanks for stopping by.
I.D. was provided by Sklo42 and Welzebub. I wasn't expecting the Czech Glass I.D., Pleasantly surprised.
Thank you both.
Chalet me thinks.
Your bowl is Czech, designed byFrantisek Zemek for Mstisov. I think it may be from the 1950's or 60's.
If I am not mistaken the Mstisov line was referred to as Rhapsody. Cool find!! Here is a link to some other Rhapsody examples.

They had several ranges but this bowl is from the Rhapsody range. Rhapsody was their most popular range and comes in a great variety of shapes, predominantly vases and bowls. They were in production at much the same time as Chribska, but were much more inventive in terms of shape. They were also more expensive......
A lovely bowl indeed....... I never found one alas.
This is soooo pretty!!! I'd have grabbed it too ;)
Thanking Adele, Broochman, Sklo, Welzebub, and Shareurpassion for the "Love it" clicks.
Sigh. Should have left it to the Glass People, and stuck to something I know about. Here's one from a few yrs. ago posted here.
