ABOUT PRODUCTID 11608
The 'Glut' vase, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for HSG Ząbkowice in the 1970s, exemplifies Polish utility glass inspired by the mid-century modern movement. Its tall, slender body features a softly undulating silhouette echoing organic motifs—reminiscent of a bean pod or a drop of molten glass. The cool, translucent violet with a lavender hue forms a gentle gradient, deepening towards the base. The highly glossy, smooth surface captures and reflects light, while elongated vertical grooves run along the length, accentuating the vase’s sculptural quality. Hand-blown using traditional glassmaking techniques, each piece displays subtle asymmetry and a unique pattern of grooves. The base is slightly widened and rounded, providing stability and emphasizing the organic form. The vase remains in very good condition, free from visible damage or restoration, and retains its original luster and details.The 'Glut' vase carries the spirit of Polish modernism from the 1970s—a period when designers like Drost explored new expressive possibilities in glass, seeking harmony between simplicity and inspiration drawn from nature. The form appears to capture movement, as if the glass was frozen mid-flow, with vertical grooves evoking the vibrant energy of plant forms. The lavender violet color, shifting subtly with the light, recalls the glass-coloring experiments characteristic of Ząbkowice. The vase embodies the restraint of the era, where ornamentation gave way to material clarity and sculptural purity.The 'Glut' vase may be placed solo against a light wall, where its lavender hue and organic silhouette become a striking accent. It will suit both mid-century modern and minimalist contemporary interiors, creating a subtle counterpoint to geometric lines.
