During the communist occupation of Czechoslovakia a huge array of beautiful and innovative pieces were designed and produced. Due to the closed door nature of communism, many of these pieces are only now being discovered and documented. The basket being sold here is from the Chribska glassworks, which was founded in the early 1400s and merged with the Borske Sklo company in 1950s. Josef Hospodka designed the piece and was the head designer during the 1950s and 60s. Josef attended the State School for Graphic Arts in Prague during the beginning of the second world war. After an illustrious career Josef became head designer at Chribska (Borske Sklo) and later director of the whole company.
