ABOUT PRODUCTID 13944
The 'Bałwanek' vase, designed by Kazimierz Krawczyk for Huta Sudety in the 1970s, exemplifies postmodernist design with clear mid-century modern influences. Crafted from thick, high-quality glass, it features a saturated, warm orange hue that transitions to a translucent yellow at the wide, flared rim. The body consists of four perfectly rounded, stacked segments, lending the vase a symmetrical and sculptural quality. The top section flares outward in a dramatic conical shape, functioning as a visual accent. The surface is glossy, continuous, and shows no visible joins, scratches, or other signs of wear. The base is slightly thicker and subtly darker, reinforcing the geometric balance and grounding the silhouette. The excellent vintage condition is evidenced by the flawless presentation and absence of damage – only the most minor traces of time might be apparent on close inspection, typical of well-preserved collector's glass.This piece evokes the voice of the 1970s, a time when Polish glassworks like Huta Sudety were boldly exploring new shapes and colours, moving beyond conventional decorative motifs. The 'Bałwanek' vase tells a story of playfulness and rhythmic structure, inviting associations with sunlight shifting through coloured glass on a bright day. Its figural outline captures a sense of sculptural experimentation alongside a subtle nod to the humour and energy of avant-garde design, while retaining the composure inherent to high-quality postwar objects.The
