ABOUT PRODUCTID 19509
The 'Bączek' bottle, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy in 1970s Poland, exemplifies mid-century modern principles through its harmonious, organic silhouette. Made from hand-blown colored glass, the bottle captivates with a sweeping color gradient: a deep burnt orange at the broad base transitions fluidly to an intense yellow at the neck and rim. Its proportions are carefully balanced—the bulbous body contrasts with a tall, slender neck. There are no decorative embellishments or relieves, reflecting the modernist ethos of form purity, while the lustrous surface amplifies the glass's inherent qualities and interaction with light. Delicate air bubbles beneath the surface attest to traditional glassblowing techniques. A slightly thickened base provides stability. The piece remains in very good vintage condition, showing no damage, restoration, or visible wear.This bottle embodies the narrative of 1970s Polish modernism, when artistic movements merged experimentation with practical design. Its organic shape evokes the slow, fluid current of molten glass in motion, while the gradient suggests a suspended flame—amber, luminous, and calm. The 'Bączek' eschews ornamentation, focusing instead on the interplay of light, color, and craftsmanship. In a contemporary context, its form is read as a subtle manifesto of harmony and clarity.The bottle would serve as a focal point when displayed solo on a light wood sideboard, allowing its form and color to lead the composition. It works well in living rooms styled in mid-century modern or contemporary fashion—consider pairing it with other light, organic ceramics or matte metal items to enhance texture contrast. It is also worth combining it with a neutral wall palette and raw textiles, to highlight its tonal transitions and the understated gloss of the glass.
