ABOUT PRODUCTID 13806
Produced by HSG Tarnowiec in Poland during the 1970s, this vase exemplifies Polish art glass of the mid-century modern era. Crafted from deeply black, almost opaque glass with a highly glossy, reflective finish, it draws attention with its visual intensity. The most distinctive features are two hand-applied, transparent glass handles, symmetrically placed on the slender neck; they display an organic, flowing design, reminiscent of floral or wave-like motifs. The bulbous body transitions smoothly into an elongated neck that gently flares at the top, while a delicate transparent ring at the base visually anchors the form, lending both separation and stability. The surface is perfectly smooth and uniform, unbroken by texture except for gleaming highlights. The vase is preserved in excellent vintage condition, showing no chips, cracks, or visible repairs.The deep black glass, like a slice of night frozen in time, and the clear ornamental handles tell the story of the ambitions behind 1970s Polish glass artistry. The organic handles seem to emerge naturally from the vessel, channeling plant-like forms and a sense of movement—echoes of nature shaped by the craftsman's hand. This vase might whisper of an era when even utilitarian objects became canvases for artistic experimentation, where pure form meets exquisitely conceived detail.The vase can be displayed in mid-century modern-inspired interiors or alongside other examples of Polish glass from the 1960s and 1970s. It may be paired with low, veneered coffee tables or showcased as a solitary object on a light-colored console to accentuate the depth of its black surface and the luminous clarity of its handles. It is worth combining it with a neutral room palette or minimalist sculptures, where it serves as a striking visual accent. Positioned near graphic art or simple ceramics, the vase strengthens the dialogue between various forms of craftsmanship.
