ABOUT PRODUCTID 13886
This vase, designed by Michał Jakubas for the Kraków Glass Institute, exemplifies Polish art glass from the 1970s. Crafted in a nude-beige tone with a subtle amber gradient at the base, its shape is low and squat, rounded on the sides—a silhouette typical of the era. Two clear, hand-applied glass handles with thicker attachments highlight artisanal skill and lend the piece both stability and functional utility. The surface is high-gloss and smooth, devoid of any decoration or pattern, focusing attention on form and glass quality. There are no chips, cracks, or significant traces of use. Condition: very good – an authentic collectible piece.This vase speaks in the language of its era—when Polish utility glass explored organic contours and nuanced, natural tones. Its shape and nude hue evoke a search for balance between nature and craftsmanship: as if it aims to capture the sensation of light passing through amber. The tactile, hand-applied handles whisper of the glassmaker’s individual mark, while the minimalist design lets the interplay of light and glass take center stage.The vase could serve as the focal point on a coffee table or oak sideboard in the living room, harmonizing with ceramics in earthy tones, glossy metals, or single soft-petaled flowers. It works well in spaces inspired by mid-century modern design that value texture and warmth, and can equally complement more eclectic, collector-friendly interiors—especially against a graphite wall or raw wood, where its unique glass form can stand out.
