ABOUT PRODUCTID 12746
This Polish vase, dating from the 1980s, embodies the local take on mid-century modern design. Crafted from transparent glass in a vivid, cool-toned emerald green, its surface is adorned with a faceted, geometric pattern composed of irregular polygonal cuts. These facets give rise to a prismatic effect, refracting light and highlighting a play of reflections and color depth. The finish is sleek and glossy, enhancing the clarity of the design, while the silhouette – squat, with gently flaring sides and a flat base – strongly references the architectural, functional perspective characteristic of Central and Eastern European modernist traditions. There are no additional colors, no painted decorations, nor any maker's marks – the emphasis remains on purity of material and form. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear.This object resonates with the voice of Polish utilitarian glass from the late 1970s and 1980s: it speaks through a form shaped by dialogue with architecture, pragmatism, and refined minimalism. The emerald glass reflects light as if from within a submerged depth, while the cut facets create a subtle kaleidoscopic effect—each turn revealing a new arrangement of highlights. Rather than seeking extravagance, the vase celebrates order and tranquility of the material, honoring the legacy of local glassworks, where design was always a matter of precision and reserved gestures. Decoration here results not from ornament, but from the interplay of light and structure.This vase
