ABOUT PRODUCTID 19496
This 1970s vase, produced by HSG Ząbkowice, exemplifies the distinct qualities of Polish pressed glass in the mid-century modern tradition. Crafted from robust, soda-lime pressed glass, the vase displays dense materiality and stability. The vivid, saturated blue—with a cool undertone—is presented in a gloss-finished surface that intensifies the depth of the color. Its decoration centers around a geometric, grid-like motif created by regular rectangular embossments, imparting expressive, three-dimensional texture. The vessel’s form is subtly conical—wider at the rim and gently narrowing toward the base—providing a harmonious and balanced profile. There are no visible signs of wear, chips, or repair; the vase is in excellent condition.Seen through the lens of its era, this piece echoes the modernist spirit of the 1970s, when Polish glassmakers explored vibrant color and rhythmic geometry. The vase seems to recount the decade’s fascination with light: its glossy surface reflects like a smooth lake, while the geometric pattern captures interplay of darkness and brilliance. The solid yet lucid silhouette evokes a period that found power in simplicity and decoration through purposeful structure.The vessel could serve as a chromatic accent in bright, contemporary interiors, or be paired with other mid-century pieces—such as a minimalist sideboard, subdued ceramics, or a lamp with industrial lines. It would work well as a standalone focal point atop a console, or alongside transparent glass vessels to highlight its depth. One might combine it with matte surfaces or metal details, amplifying its sheen and deep hue in collector’s vintage settings or eclectic, modern apartments.
