ABOUT PRODUCTID 38605
This bottle-shaped vase, designed by Stefan Sadowski in 1971 for the Sudety Glassworks, exemplifies Polish modernist design from the early 1970s. Crafted from soda glass colored in the mass, it features the antico foaming technique, giving rise to a myriad of tiny, irregular air bubbles dispersed throughout the body. The color palette spans a deep olive green, merging seamlessly into cooler, bluish-green tones around the neck and collar. The sculptural silhouette is defined by a broad, rounded body tapering gracefully toward three pronounced rings on the neck, culminating in a subtly flared rim. The base is thickened and darkened, lending both stability and a visual anchor to the composition. The glass surface is smooth and glossy, with the foamed texture perceptible only to the eye. The vase is preserved in ideal, original condition—free from damage, chips, or traces of restoration—a genuine example of Polish 1970s design.This form resonates with the experimental spirit of Polish modernism, a period when glass became both a utilitarian object and a field of artistic exploration. The air bubbles trapped within the mass evoke natural processes and the vitality of matter, while the subtle color transitions suggest fluidity, light, and a layered depth. The rhythmic rings at the neck add a sense of movement, as if the vase seeks to encapsulate the fleeting energy and lightness of the 1970s—a quiet manifesto of the capabilities of Polish applied arts in that era.The vase can be displayed solo on a walnut sideboard or a low shelf in the living room, where daylight will accentuate
