ABOUT PRODUCTID 36515
The 'antico' bottle vase is an early design by Zbigniew Horbowy, produced at the Sudety Glassworks in the 1970s. Crafted from soda-lime glass colored in the mass with a warm, light amber tone and golden highlights, the vase features a harmonious, organic silhouette: a bulbous, rounded body rises smoothly to a slender neck finished with a delicately flared collar. The glass surface is glossy and smooth, animated by a dense pattern of small air bubbles captured within—an effect of the antico technique that defined Horbowy’s first creative period. The base is precisely ground and finished with a distinctive lens detail, underscoring the object’s high level of craftsmanship. There are no additional ornaments or fittings; the purity of material and form takes center stage. The vase is in very good condition, showing no signs of damage or loss.This bottle gives voice to the spirit of Polish modernism in the 1970s, when artistic glass took bold steps toward simplicity and the controlled play of light. Its contours evoke the search for balance between function and subtle decoration—amber glass, filled with tiny bubbles, seems to capture a fleeting moment of light, while every curve and lens-like detail draws attention to the sensual qualities of the material. The piece stands as a silent witness to an era of technical experimentation and a taste for minimalist purity.The vase can be displayed on a low walnut or oak sideboard, where
