This hand-blown glass vase, produced by HSG Tarnowiec in 1970s Poland, exemplifies the distinctive late modernist and mid-century aesthetics of Eastern European art glass. The main body displays a deep, ruby red―rich, translucent, and glossy―shaped into a solid, rounded form whose dynamics are accentuated by a contrasting high-gloss black neck. Two clear, colorless glass side handles are precisely applied, their symmetrical loops providing a striking counterpoint to the saturated core. The flattened, bulbous silhouette, set on a narrow foot, and the gentle, organic geometry highlight the craftsmanship typical of skilled glassworkers. There are no visible damages or restorations; only minimal traces of gentle wear consistent with age are present. Condition: very good―surfaces are pristine, colors remain vibrant.This vase speaks with the voice of the bold yet refined design language of Poland under the People's Republic: an object intended for display that does not forfeit usability. Its ruby red hue evokes the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish art glass moved beyond pure function to become a beacon of experimentation and technical prowess. The black neck and transparent handles―reminiscent of decorative brackets―suggest a narrative of tradition meeting modernity, elegantly uniting color, light, and the touch of the artisan. It preserves within its glass the essence of the past decade: audacious, yet always balanced.In a contemporary living room, this vase
