The diatret vase designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for HSG Ząbkowice in 1970s Poland is crafted from pressed glass in a vibrant, medium-saturated amber hue. The vase features a slim, gently tapering form accentuated by vertically fluted paneling—reflecting the mid-century modern sensibility that defined Polish design in that era. Its standout decorative element is the geometric band just below the rim: a three-dimensional, crown-like motif with alternating angular and rounded segments. The glass surface is smooth, polished, and highly reflective, enhancing the depth of color and catching the light from every angle. The detailing of the ornamental band and the crispness of execution attest to the manufacturing standards of Ząbkowice. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, free from chips, scratches, or cracks, with every structural detail clearly legible.This piece brings the tone of its time—a warm light shining through the everyday gray of 1970s Poland. Drost's design speaks of an era when Polish artists sought modern expression in the objects of daily life, marrying sculptural ambition with bold coloration. The three-dimensional band, reminiscent of a crown, tells a story of craft and imagination: of geometry meeting fluidity, of light
