The 'Fasolka' vase, produced by HSG Ząbkowice in Poland during the 1970s, embodies the mid-century modern aesthetic characteristic of Polish pressed glass of its era. Its structure features a tall, slender silhouette with an organically undulating cross-section that broadens at the base. The glass is clear, with a subtle smoky or grayish hue and a smooth, highly reflective surface that amplifies the play of light. The vertical ridges and gentle bulges along the body evoke a minimalist, nature-inspired spirit typical of the 1970s, while the irregular, hand-formed rim serves as its crowning detail. There are no additional decorations or patterns, in favor of emphasizing the purity of the material and the sculptural qualities of the form. The base is thick and stable, lending a sense of weight and craftsmanship. Condition is very good – no chips, cracks, or repair marks, only subtle manufacturing traces at the base consistent with hand-formed glass of this period.This example of Ząbkowice glass from the 1970s is understated, privileging gesture and the honesty of material. The organic movement of the silhouette and absence of ornamentation allow the vase to tell a story of simplicity and function in postwar Poland—a time when glass served not only utilitarian but also contemplative purposes, reflecting daily moods and daylight. Slight irregularities at the rim and interplay of light on the transparent surface suggest that this object’s beauty lies in subtle differences and the quiet discipline of form.In a living
