This paperweight from the 1970s, reflecting a Polish interpretation of mid-century modern style, was crafted in hand-blown glass by Huta Zorza. The abstract apple form displays an organic, rounded silhouette, echoing the era’s fascination with nature-inspired motifs. Its surface reveals a cool, pastel purple with a semi-translucent, pearlescent effect and a distinct crackle-glass texture, setting off subtle plays of light. The clear green glass leaf, sculpted with refined organic detail, is placed at the top near a short, semi-transparent brownish stem. The underside is gently flattened for stability. The seamless transition between the apple, leaf, and stem plus the glossy finish attest to the craftsmanship and artistry of execution. The piece is in very good, collector’s condition, showing no signs of wear, chips, or restoration.This sculptural object carries the story of 1970s Poland—a period when artistic glasswork gave everyday items a touch of sophisticated design. Its lustrous surface appears to capture daylight, expressing the quiet nuances and gentle reflections that defined the era’s style. The piece seems to whisper of modernist experiments and spontaneous color, conjuring an atmosphere where artistic fantasy seeped gracefully into domestic settings. As if the paperweight itself speaks, it tells of understated luxury, balanced between playful shape and visual refinement.The paperweight may be displayed on a desk, console, or among other small artefacts on a living room shelf. It can be paired with clean-lined teak or walnut furniture, especially in spaces inspired by mid-century modern or eclectic vintage arrangements. For a nod to
