This bottle, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy and produced at the 'Barbara' Artistic Glassworks in Polanica Zdrój during the 1970s and 1980s, exemplifies the modernist approach in Polish art glass. Crafted from soda glass colored in the mass, it stands out for its intense amber-yellow hue with a semi-translucent, slightly milky finish, characteristic of the 'antico' type. The surface is glossy, accentuating subtle tonal transitions and small air bubbles typical of hand-blown techniques. Its elongated, gently tapering form, thickened rounded rim, and two symmetrical, circular handles near the neck provide geometric harmony and a decorative accent. The proportions are balanced, with a slightly widened base ensuring stability. The bottle is preserved in excellent condition, without damage or visible signs of wear. This piece echoes the voice of Polish design from the 1970s: bold color meets disciplined form. The bottle seems to tell the story of an era searching for new modes of expression—its milky interior filters light into a gentle, warm glow, while the handles by the neck add a touch of playfulness, reflecting Horbowy's modernist experiments. The tiny bubbles within the glass recall its artisanal origins, while the harmonious silhouette speaks of the pursuit of simplicity and clarity. The vessel may be displayed atop a dark wooden console, where
