ABOUT PRODUCTID 13932
This modernist vase, produced by Hortensja Glassworks in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland in the 1970s, is crafted from layered glass. Warm, smoky brown forms the dominant tone, contrasted by clear, deeply cut glass sections that highlight the material's clarity. The surface is adorned with an intricate pattern: sharp cuts depict geometric and botanical motifs, including stylized leaves and starbursts, revealing the transparent glass beneath the brown exterior. A subtle sheen speaks to the polished, cut crystal technique. The silhouette remains balanced, featuring a clearly articulated base that gently transitions into widened shoulders and a smoothly tapering midsection. The piece is preserved in very good vintage condition—no chips, cracks, or traces of restoration are visible.The form of this vase resonates with the spirit of 1970s modernism, when the nobility of material met a refined approach to ornament. The glass, expressing the voice of its era, continues to tell a story of clarity and subtle decoration, poised between artisanal precision and botanical inspiration. The deep brown appears to absorb light, only to reflect it delicately through the transparent cuts—each reflection suggesting a tranquil reminiscence from the daily life of a bygone decade.This kind of vase could serve as a standalone accent on a solid wood sideboard, where the dark brown contrasts with classic veneer or contemporary whiteness. It presents well among geometric prints, with simple modernist furniture, or in collector's interiors inspired by the mid-century modern style. Pairing it with a glass accent in a complementary shade or a single leafy branch would emphasize the interplay between its subtle decoration and a neutral background.
