The 'Woda Sodowa' vase, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for HSG Ząbkowice, exemplifies Polish art glass from the 1970s. Crafted from semi-transparent glass in a smoky olive-brown tone with a subtle yellowish undertone, it features a geometric, gently tapering silhouette and a stable hexagonal base. The surface is adorned with a regular, vertical relief of raised bubbles, arranged with precision around the body, giving the piece a distinctive three-dimensional texture and rhythmic visual interest. The glass is smooth and glossy, with the depth of color subtly intensifying toward the base to create a gentle gradient. The vase shows no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear; it remains in very good condition, free from restoration, and retains its original clarity and sheen.This piece captures the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish designers explored the intersection of functionality and decorative expression. The vase 'speaks' of an era in which everyday objects became a canvas for formal and material experimentation. The bubble relief seems to trap fleeting moments within the glass, while the smoky hue—reminiscent of late afternoon light—evokes the inviting, sensuous interiors of half a century ago. In the rhythm of protrusions and the transparency of the glass, one can sense the echoes of workshop innovation and the craftsmanship that defined Polish glass of the period.The vase can be paired with simple teak or oak furniture characteristic of mid-century modern style, or used as a single accent piece in minimalist, contemporary interiors, where its geometric form and interplay of light on the raised pattern will draw subtle attention. It would work well on a console, low sideboard, or as a
