This decorative container from the 1970s, most likely produced at HSG Tarnowiec, is a representative example of Polish modernist glass design. It is crafted from thick, pressed glass, colored in an intense, deep black. A distinctive feature for this era is the subtle burgundy undertone visible along the rim and within the vessel, especially where light passes through thinner sections of glass. The highly polished surface has a nearly lacquered, mirror-like effect. The form is organic and asymmetrical, with soft, undulating edges and freehand-shaped walls—hallmarks of Polish design experimentation of the 1970s. The absence of visible seams and the unified shape highlight its artisanal production. The container shows no signs of wear or damage and is preserved in very good condition.This piece embodies the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish glassworks allowed designers greater freedom to explore form and color. Its organic silhouette seems to flow like a suspended wave, and the interplay of light across the polished surface brings out the depth of black and burgundy reflections. It is a small everyday sculpture that speaks of a time when even decorative objects gained an artistic autonomy through bold experimentation.The container could be paired with minimalist ceramics or glass in neutral tones to accentuate its distinctive color. It would work well against surfaces of raw wood, stone, or concrete, providing a striking contrast with matte textures. Interiors inspired by modernism, vintage collector’s arrangements, or contemporary spaces with an avant-garde touch are natural settings for this form—it is best displayed solo on a console or shelf to highlight its sculptural character and the ever-changing play of light on its surface.
