ABOUT PRODUCTID 23382
The carafe designed by Barbara Świstacka in 1972 in Kraków exemplifies Polish artistic glass from the late modernist era. Crafted from thick, colored glass, it features a harmonious blend of deep green and blue with a fluid, gradient transition. The rounded, bulbous stopper fits seamlessly into the organic, gently tapering silhouette, while the slightly squared base provides a balanced counterpoint. The glossy, mirror-like finish amplifies the intensity of the hues and accentuates the smooth, polished surface, free from visible seams or joints. With dimensions of 23 cm in height, 10.5 cm in width, and 8.5 cm in depth, the carafe merges functionality with a sculptural, decorative presence. It remains in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This carafe echoes the voice of Polish avant-garde of the 1970s, telling the story of a time when experiments in color and form were an expression of modernity and creative freedom. Its cool tones and soft lines evoke the ambiance of tranquil, artistic interiors, where the boundaries between utility and art began to blur. The glass surface, playing with light like a lake at dusk, radiates an aura of calm and contemplation, inviting the celebration of everyday rituals in an uncommon setting.The carafe can be placed on an open shelf in the living room, where it pairs well with other colored glass objects or ceramics from the era to form a collectible display. Modernist and mid-century modern interiors will highlight its understated character, though it could also serve as a focal counterpoint in more eclectic arrangements—such as next to minimalist pieces or natural wood. It is worth combining with simple glasses to showcase its sculptural presence and to let the interplay of color fully emerge under daylight or accent lighting.
