The 'Antico' bottle vase designed by Zbigniew Horbowy stands as an iconic example of Polish artistic glass from the 1970s.

This gives the object a dynamic visual texture while remaining perfectly smooth to the touch. Its glossy finish accentuates the interplay of light and color saturation, while well-balanced proportions ensure visual stability and presence. The vase is in very good condition: free from chips, cracks, or signs of wear, retaining its original luster.This vase tells the story of Polish 1970s modernism—a time when experimentation with material and form allowed artists to speak the language of pure expression.
