1980s Jozefina Octopus/Jellyfish Glass Pedestal Bowl/Compote in Shades of Lilac

Gorgeous Octopus (or Jellyfish?) from Jozefina in purples, lilacs and clear, hand-blown glass. Exquisite layers of luminous color. Made in Krosno, Poland in the 1980s. Beautiful on its own or holding decorative items (or fruit!). No longer available from Josefina, the company that still produces fine art glassware.

“Old and traditional techniques give each piece of Jozefina its wonderful character
Our company was founded in 1980 by Jozef Jankowski—known artist and glass blower. His daughter, Ella Jankowska Fishman has emerged as a leading art glass designer. Her designs bring a breath of freshness to the art glass world. JOZEFINA has always worked in colored glass made with the highest quality craftsmanship and created with two things in mind: beauty and function.

Expressive style, beautiful and elegant shapes make our art glass unusual and innovative. Each piece is hand blown and hand finished which makes every item artistic and unique. At JOZEFINA we value the old, traditional techniques of glass blowing dated back as far as the 10th century. We are located in Krosno-Poland, the oldest glass and crystal producing area in Europe.”
