The 'Fasolka' vase, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for HSG Ząbkowice in the 1970s, is an example of Polish utilitarian glass where organic form meets functional clarity. Crafted from thick, pressed glass in a smoky gray tone, the vase displays harmonious proportions: a wide, stable base transitions into a rounded, gently asymmetrical body that tapers toward a distinctive, double-notched rim. The entire surface is adorned with a raised bubble pattern, imparting a tactile, three-dimensional texture that reflects light with its glossy finish. The color is a cool, subdued gray with a clear gradient that deepens toward the base. The construction is seamless, without visible joints, and the vase is characterized by the durability typical of Polish design from the 1970s. The condition is very good—there are no visible damages or signs of restoration, only minimal marks of age.The form of the 'Fasolka' vase echoes the voice of Polish modernism in the 1970s, when craft and experimentation met at the intersection of everyday life and inspiration from nature. Its organic silhouette and bubble texture speak of an era that sought a break from the solemnity of tradition, infusing everyday objects with playfulness and a touch of irreverence. The smoky glass filters light gently, casting a soft shadow, while the tactile bubbles evoke the memory of hand-formed details and the designers’ willingness to explore the possibilities of material.This vase can stand alone atop a dark wooden sideboard in a mid-century modern inspired living room or be integrated into a curated
