ABOUT PRODUCTID 14023
This hand-blown glass vase, produced by HSG Tarnowiec in Poland in the 1970s, features an organic, slender silhouette as part of the mid-century modern and space age design canon. Its deep red hue stands out with a luminous, semi-transparent finish. The lower section and circular base are made from clear glass, providing a sharp visual contrast that highlights the sculptural line. The long, tapering neck merges smoothly into an asymmetrically flared opening—an expressive motif associated with Polish glass artistry and the era's fascination with dynamic forms. The material reveals subtle textural nuances and tiny air bubbles, bearing witness to artisanal craftsmanship and traditional mouth-blown techniques. The clear base is marked by gentle hand-worked details, indicative of bespoke production. The vase remains in very good vintage condition: free from chips or cracks, with only minimal, surface-level marks typical for its age but no signs of restoration.The vase’s form eloquently evokes the spirit of 1970s Polish design—a time when glass became a medium for creative experimentation and bold use of colour. The vivid red seems to radiate with inner light, while the dramatic, fluid contours subtly reference futuristic optimism and space age dreams. Each irregularity and textural nuance offers a narrative of the craftsperson's gestures, making the vase as much a record of artisanal energy as an object of decor.The vase may be placed on a console or sideboard to serve as the focal point, paired with geometric or minimalist accessories so that its vivid colour and sculptural presence take centre stage. It would integrate especially well into mid-century modern interiors or curated collections celebrating the 1970s. Combining it with neutral backgrounds—such as pale wood, white, or graphite surfaces—and simple glass or metal
