ABOUT PRODUCTID 13960
This vase, designed by Kazimierz Krawczyk for HSG Tarnowiec in Poland during the 1970s, is made from thick, high-quality glass in a deep, saturated ruby red shade with warm undertones. The glossy finish enhances both depth and light play on the smooth, undecorated surface. The vase has a symmetrical hourglass silhouette, featuring a broad flared rim and a wide, stable base that emphasizes balanced proportions. Two pronounced rings in the center of the body serve as a bold decorative accent, representative of late modernism and 1970s Polish applied art. The vase is free of patterns or ornamentation, with the uniform color accentuating the tactile quality of the glass. It is in very good condition, with all elements original and no visible damage or repairs.This object carries the sensibility of Polish modernism—powerful color, clarity of form, and a focus on material essence. The ruby red glass evokes the spirit of the 1970s, a time when utilitarian objects also aspired to aesthetic value. The hourglass form with its prominent rings speaks to a fascination with geometry and a restrained expressiveness, capturing echoes of industrial growth and the aspiration for modern living. The reflective glass surface catches its surroundings, suggesting light filtering through interiors of a past era.The vase can be used as a strong accent in a living space inspired by Polish modernism or mid-century modern aesthetics. It works well solo, for example atop a sideboard with a pronounced wood grain, or paired with low ceramic vessels and minimalist candleholders. Its color harmonizes with muted walls, dark green plants, and simple textiles. It may also be grouped with other period glass forms or metallic accents, creating a cohesive, collectable arrangement.
