ABOUT PRODUCTID 18401
This vintage vase from the Ząbkowice glassworks, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost and executed by Stanisław Macha in 1970s Poland, exemplifies mid-century modern aesthetics in soda glass. Its thick, seamlessly formed body is adorned with a swirling marbled pattern—warm oranges, ambers, reds, whites, and yellows—achieved by advanced glass mass coloring techniques. The vase's silhouette is bulbous at the base, elegantly tapering to a tall neck crowned with a delicately scalloped and wavy rim. The highly polished, smooth surface amplifies both the depth of color and the organic rhythm of the decoration, reflecting light in myriad ways. With no visible construction seams, the vase was likely blown or molded as a single piece. Its condition remains very good, free from chips, cracks, or major signs of age, with original vibrant hues and gloss fully preserved.This vase tells the story of Polish glassmaking in the 1970s, an era when energetic, colored forms brought joy and brightness into interiors, standing in contrast to the day-to-day of the decade. The dynamic marbled waves appear almost frozen in motion—a decorative gesture from a period seeking modern expression through artistic freedom and the integrity of craft. The vivid and shifting coloration, paired with a striking silhouette, continues to evoke the optimism and creative courage of the time.The vase would work well placed on a low sideboard of natural wood, positioned to catch daylight or a focused lamp to heighten the
