This 1970s vase from HSG Ząbkowice is crafted from transparent, colorless pressed sodium glass. It is distinguished by thick, evenly cast walls, and a subtly tapered cylindrical silhouette. The surface is adorned with a regular, raised pattern of vertical 'bean' ovals – a detail typical of Polish pressed glassware from this era. Its glossy, mirror-like finish attracts and reflects light, creating a pronounced three-dimensional effect. The straight, neatly finished rim and flat, stable base are evidence of solid workmanship at the Ząbkowice manufactory. There are no visible traces of wear, chips, or damage, confirming its very good condition. The object retains its authentic, original character.The vase speaks with the voice of the 1970s, when the Polish glass movement embraced modernity and explored geometric, almost architectural motifs. Its repetitive, sculpted rhythm recalls modernist and brutalist influences, as if the piece itself were shaped by the era’s fascination with light, shadow, and transparency. Reflections on the glossy surface evoke the ambiance of interiors where glass quietly supported the narrative of contemporary design.In a living room arrangement, the vase could be set against heftier, clean-lined pieces—such as a walnut sideboard or a steel console—to reinforce its modernist context. It would work well with minimalist lighting, collectible posters, and select accessories in milk glass or muted ceramics. Pairing it with green foliage or single stems will highlight the play of light across its textured surface and accentuate its sculptural form.
