ABOUT PRODUCTID 36473
This decorative bottle, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy for the Sudety Glassworks in Szczytna Śląska, is a quintessential example of Polish modernism from the 1970s. Hand-formed from soda-lime glass using the 'Antico' bubble technique, it features a sculptural, weighty silhouette with a bulbous body and a wide, cylindrical neck topped by a gently flared rim. The surface is animated by a profusion of air bubbles suspended within the glass, uniformly colored in a deep, warm amber tone. A precisely ground, lens-shaped base attests to the high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of this era. Glossy finish, subtle surface irregularities, and organic lines highlight the bottle’s artisanal and collectible character. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration – the piece is preserved in very good original condition.This bottle evokes the spirit of Polish design when material experimentation met the pursuit of pure form. Its amber glass captures the energy of the 1970s—a time when Zbigniew Horbowy broke conventions and searched for new means of expression. The pulsating air bubbles, frozen within the thick walls, appear to trap light, as if each pocket of air records a fleeting moment. The bottle takes on a sculptural presence, speaking to the strength of the material and the delicacy of the creative process, where chance and artisanal mastery coexist.In an interior, it can be placed atop a
