This chalice-shaped vase, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy in 1971 for Huta Szkła 'Sudety' in Szczytna Śląska, exemplifies Polish artistic glass from the mid-century modern era. Made of mass-colored sodium glass with a gradient effect, it features a vivid orange hue that transitions smoothly into sunny yellow at the base. The silhouette is balanced: a bulbous bowl, gently narrowing at the rim, sits atop an elongated, slender stem with a sculptural double-knob detail, finished with a round, stable base. The surface is glossy, smooth and free from patterns or textures, with seamless color transitions. The vase is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or signs of wear, and retains its original lustrous finish.The form of this vase reflects the energy of Polish avant-garde of the 1970s, when bold experimentation with color and shape defined a new generation of glass designers. Its organic lines and vibrant color speak to the era’s optimism, seeking expression in everyday objects. The vase seems to capture a moment of light passing through an orange flame, while the glossy surface reflects its surroundings with a warm, gentle sheen.The vase may be paired with other mid-century vessels or contrasted with minimalist accents in natural materials—such as light oak or raw ceramics. It works well on a sideboard in the living room, where the glass gradient highlights the play of daylight, or as a centerpiece on a dining table. It is worth displaying with a single branch or a
