This pressed glass vase from HSG Tarnowiec, created in Poland in the 1970s, exemplifies the modernist glassmaking of its era. The bulbous upper section is formed from cool, milky-white glass with a semi-translucent finish, smoothly transitioning into a transparent, glossy base. The sculptural silhouette is defined by organic, irregular protrusions and a strong vertical emphasis—a narrow neck expanding into a wide, rounded shoulder creates a dynamic and expressive form. The vase is finished to a high gloss, with a smooth surface that enhances the interplay of matte white and clear glass, highlighting its minimalist yet striking aesthetic. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration; the piece is preserved in very good, original condition.The shape of this vase evokes the spirit of an era when Polish glassworks explored novel forms, experimenting with the plasticity of glass and the play of light. The compressed, almost liquid lines of the material give the impression of a frozen moment in motion—at times raw, at times gentle, always intriguing. The milky-white, semi-translucent top blends with the crystalline base, as if capturing the instant when form is born in the heat of the glassworks, balancing malleability and unpredictability. This object carries the narrative of 1970s designers who dared to combine restrained color with sculptural, organic profiles.The vase may be paired with other examples of Polish vintage glass to create a collection of varied textures and hues, or displayed solo on a dark wood sideboard, where its translucent form gains further depth. It also works well alongside minimalist sculptures, simple metal accessories, or against a raw concrete wall. One might add a single branch or leave it empty, allowing the sculptural silhouette and the reflection of
