This vase, produced by Poland’s Hortensja glassworks in the 1930s, captures the essence of Art Deco glass design. Its body is crafted from clear glass with a cool, neutral undertone and high transparency. The upper portion features a band of stylised, etched floral and grass motifs with a satin-matte finish, characteristic of the era’s geometric decorative language. The vase’s profile gently flares at the rim before tapering down to a wide, solid black opaque base—a bold contrasting detail rooted in 1930s aesthetics. The glass is evenly formed, with uniform wall thickness; no visible cracks or structural flaws are present. Only subtle surface signs of age can be observed, with the piece remaining in very good original condition, authentic in its every detail and with all original elements intact.In this form, the glass speaks with the voice of the pre-war avant-garde—clean lines, rhythmic matte etching, and the striking black base narrate a fascination with contrast and the pursuit of boundary-pushing craftsmanship. Nature-inspired ornamentation subjected to geometric order evokes a period when applied art became a statement of modernity while retaining refined restraint. Each reflection glancing across the vase’s surface recalls a time when artistic function and sophisticated decoration merged—the cool harmony so typical of interwar Polish glassmaking.This vase may be displayed on a collector’s niche shelf or become a focus in a living room defined by muted tones and minimalist lines. It aligns beautifully with an oak tabletop, a modernist sideboard, or amidst details of black marble and chrome. One may pair it with other period objects or contemporary accessories—a monochrome print, a single branch, or a composition of dried grasses—to highlight the dialogue between geometric structure and organic decoration.
