ABOUT PRODUCTID 14080
The "Butla" vase is a design by Zbigniew Horbowy, created at Huta Sudety in Poland during the 1970s—a hallmark of Polish vintage glassmaking in a mid-century modern style with a postmodernist edge. Crafted from green antico glass, it features a saturated, medium-to-dark green hue with a slightly cool undertone. The bottle-shaped silhouette—with its wide, rounded body tapering gently into a slender, cylindrical neck—exemplifies proportions characteristic of the 1970s. The semi-gloss surface subtly reflects light, while artisan air bubble inclusions embedded within the glass add a tactile depth and organic quality. Free from metal fittings, handles, or additional decoration, the vase embodies a minimalist vision. The base is slightly thickened and stable, showing no signs of restoration or damage. The overall condition is very good, with no cracks, chips, or noticeable signs of use.This vase seems to tell its own story—the era was shaped by a search for balance between form and function. The green glass, with visible air bubbles, evokes Zbigniew Horbowy’s artistic experiments and his fascination with light-play within material. The unique surface details reinvent the classic bottle motif through the optimistic modernism of the 1970s. Every reflection on the semi-gloss finish recalls the creative freedom of that decade, as if the vase softly murmurs memories of artistic exploration and bold color.It can be paired with light or walnut-toned wood furniture to accentuate the freshness of its green and highlight its geometric shape. The vase works well as a statement piece on
