ABOUT PRODUCTID 19519
The 'Fasolka' vase is an example of Polish pressed glassware from the 1970s, produced by Ząbkowice glassworks. Its distinctly organic silhouette is formed from thick, richly saturated red glass with a warm undertone. The slender body narrows upwards, finished with a delicately undulating, irregular rim characteristic of mid-century modern style. The surface of the vase is smooth and highly glossy, intensifying the depth of the color and providing mirror-like reflections. The solid mass and subtle asymmetry reflect hand-forming techniques distinctive for the period. The bean-shaped (fasolka) cross-section avoids ornamentation, relying solely on sculptural color and light. An original label on the neck attests to its authenticity. The condition is very good: no chips or cracks, and minor production marks at the base remain consistent with the character of hand-pressed glass from this era.This vase emanates the gentle voice of the 1970s—a period when Polish glassmaking ventured boldly toward modernist simplicity and pure color expression. The bean-shaped profile recalls the calm rhythm of nature, offering harmony in softened curves and seamless transitions of light across its lustrous surface. This is a piece that, eschewing lavish decoration, relies on the honesty of form and vibrancy of color, as though whispering: "My story tells of gesture and material, a focus on the essence."It could be placed on a light wood console or low table, where daylight or lamplight will highlight the richness of its red hue. The vase pairs well with minimalist ceramics, small vintage objects, or graphite-toned accents that underscore its modernist roots.
