Produced by HSG Tarnowiec in Poland during the 1970s, this vase is a representative example of modernist glass design from the era. Crafted from deep, mirror-black glass, the piece features a minimalist silhouette with a slender, elongated neck that gently widens at both the base and the mouth. Its most distinctive feature is the wide, organically flared rim, accentuated by a dynamic band of white that flows seamlessly around the opening. The absence of additional ornamentation and the perfectly smooth, reflective surface emphasize the sculptural quality of the design, allowing light to play across the glossy glass. The construction is robust, with a thick, stable base. The vase is preserved in very good condition, showing no visible chips or signs of wear; the original glossy finish remains intact.If this vase could speak, it would recall a period when Polish glassworks sought new forms and bold color contrasts, striving to establish a unique voice within the modernist movement. Its dynamic lines and the interplay of black and white evoke a graphic manifesto—simplicity paired with confidence, function interwoven with artistic expression. The white band at the edge resembles a brushstroke on a dark canvas, suggesting movement and fluidity, while also reflecting the disciplined clarity of 1970s design, which prized the expressive power of material and form.The vase may be displayed solo on a low sideboard or console, where its glossy surface can reflect its surroundings and the color contrast is highlighted by a minimalist arrangement. It would work well in a living room inspired by modernism or in an eclectic collector’s interior—paired with 1960s ceramics or geometric posters to emphasize its graphic presence. Combining it with a light background will accentuate the depth of the black and white; a single branch or boldly shaped flower can complete the composition without competing with the sculptural form of the vase.
