This turquoise glass basket, produced in the 1960s in Ząbkowice, exemplifies the organic forms characteristic of Polish utility glassware from the second half of the 20th century. The vessel is crafted from high-quality, hand-formed glass in a cool, medium-saturated turquoise, featuring an evenly diffused translucency. Its construction is distinguished by a freely undulating, asymmetrical rim inspired by botanical motifs and an elegantly arched handle that merges seamlessly with the body. Three irregularly spaced feet provide sculptural stability and additional visual interest. The glass surface is highly glossy, with the subtle irregularities typical of hand-production. The basket is free from cracks, prominent scratches, or chips, while the rounded edge finishing highlights the artisanal nature of the piece. It presents in excellent condition, with virtually no signs of use—glass retains its original clarity and sheen, with no evidence of repair work or restoration. The Ząbkowice glass of the 1960s pulses with the spirit of experimentation—this basket, with its luminous turquoise hue, tells the story of the optimism and modernist aspirations of its era. Its form echoes a time when Polish and Czechoslovakian glassmaking captured international attention with the freedom of organic lines. The glossy texture acts as a mirror for light, while the slight irregularities of hand-shaping transform each example into something of a glass sculpture: a testament to technical mastery and creative vision. Such a vessel could be displayed on a low sideboard of pale wood in a mid-century modern living room, or paired with
