This mid-century modern vase from Poland, dating to the 1970s, is crafted from pressed glass in a cylindrical form. The body features a smoky brown gradient, transitioning from an almost black, wide, gently rounded rim through deep brown to an amber-clear base. The glass is notably thick and glossy, remaining semi-transparent, with the base fully clear to accentuate the transparency of the material. Decorative handles made of clear glass are attached symmetrically on both sides; their organic, undulating lines are seamlessly fused with the main body. The proportions are geometric, with the sculptural character of the handles creating visual interest. The surface is smooth and polished. Condition: very good, with no chips, cracks, or signs of restoration; only minimal, natural traces of time typical for the 1970s.This vase embodies the spirit of Polish glass from the 1970s—a period marked by experimentation with form and color, driven by the courage of skilled artisans. The subtle color gradient and organic handles evoke an atmosphere of creative exploration, while the glossy surface seems designed to capture light like a morning ray on an oak table. The cylindrical silhouette and irregular handles tell a story of fascination with material and light—a time when function met artistic expression.The vase can serve as a standout accent in a mid-century modern living room, where it pairs well with a wooden sideboard from the era, a glass lamp, or geometric ceramics. It may be combined with a single bold branch or left to stand alone, allowing its sculptural form to take center stage on a shelf or console. It also works as a counterpoint to neutral textiles and minimalist décor, highlighting the depth of color and the interplay of light and shadow within the glass.
