ABOUT PRODUCTID 13719
This pressed glass vase was crafted in the 1930s at the Hortensja Glassworks in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland. The piece presents a seamless, elongated silhouette, gently narrowing at the rim and expanding toward a sculpted, wavy base that evokes a flower bud or gathering of petals. The glass is cool-toned, fully transparent, and free of added color or decorative accents, emphasizing clarity and a glossy, mirror-like sheen. Vertical ribbing runs along the body, visually accentuating the vase’s height and introducing a subtle play of light across its surface. Constructed in a single piece typical of pressed glass techniques, the vase shows no visible joints, contributing to its cohesive and refined form. Its condition is very good—there are no chips, cracks, or restoration marks—and it retains its original period finish.The form of this vase echoes the Art Nouveau era’s search for harmony between nature and craftsmanship. Organic lines, free from superfluous ornamentation, lighten its composition and resemble a bud frozen just before opening—glass made to hold the promise of imminent bloom. The transparent surface refracts light with the gentle shimmer emblematic of the early 20th century, while vertical ribbing draws the gaze upward, referencing the era’s aspiration to elevate everyday objects. This vase embodies the subtlety of Polish Secessionism—restrained and lyrical in its interpretation of the organic world.The vase may be paired with tall, single stems or delicate branches to emphasize its vertical profile. It would work well atop a modernist sideboard or a pale wood
