The glass head from the 1970s is a decorative object crafted from thick, transparent glass with a subtle warm, yellowish tint. Its form is stylized as a simplified portrait—geometric facial features are smooth and glossy, while the upper and back parts of the skull are covered with regularly spaced, rounded bumps. The balanced proportions and modernist simplicity reflect mid-century design language. Visible seams at the base indicate a molding process typical for the era. This piece is both decorative and functional: it can serve as a stand for hats or headphones. The glossy surface enhances the transparency and play of light, and minor cloudiness and characteristic air bubbles are visible, testifying to its vintage origin. Condition is good—there are no cracks or chips, only subtle clouding. This glass profile evokes the spirit of the 1970s, a time when modernist ideas intersected with a fascination for material experimentation. The smooth contours and striking, rhythmic texture recall an era when glass became not just a utilitarian medium but also an expressive one. The object takes on a sculptural presence—light passes through the skull, catching on the raised dots and illuminating the interior with gentle reflections. The form invites touch, as if encouraging a dialogue between the viewer and the material. In an interior, the glass head would suit placement on a sideboard or shelf in the living room, especially alongside other mid-century pieces—ceramics, minimalist sculptures, or modernist graphics. It can be paired with matte, dark surfaces to highlight the clarity of the glass, or positioned near a source of natural light, where its relief surface comes alive with shifting reflections. In an eclectic arrangement, it becomes a striking focal point, while in a mid-century modern setting, it underscores the authenticity of a vintage collection.
