ABOUT PRODUCTID 19497
This pressed soda-lime glass vase was designed by Jan Sylwester Drosd and manufactured by HSG Ząbkowice in Poland in the 1970s. Its cylindrical form, gently tapering towards the base, offers visual stability and practical functionality—attributes widely associated with the modernist spirit of the era. The glass is characterized by a glossy, vibrant amber-yellow hue of medium saturation and warmth, which enhances both depth and luminosity. The exterior displays a geometric relief with repeated rectangular panels and subtle diamond motifs, creating a tactile, sculptural surface while maintaining the essence of a utilitarian vessel for flowers or as a standalone decorative object. The smooth inner surface contrasts effectively with the pronounced, heavy pressed exterior, a nod to the influence of brutalist aesthetics within late-modernist design. The vase is preserved in very good vintage condition—showing no chips, cracks, or signs of restoration.This vase evokes the narrative of 1970s Polish modernism, where bold material form met everyday utility. Its geometrically textured exterior, shimmering under light, recalls an era of lively experimentation with color and surface structure in domestic interiors. The glossy glass both absorbs and reflects the spirit of a time when design embraced structure and weight, yet remained approachable—every pressed pattern tells of advanced craftsmanship, while the brutalist inspiration, translated onto a compact household scale, acquires a distinctly human sensibility.The vase could be displayed on a minimalist console table or combined with mid-century modern furnishings, with its warm tone highlighting the neutrality of its background. It pairs well with other pressed glass pieces or ceramics in earthy tones or black, creating a bold graphic accent. Equally, it may complement a curatorial or eclectic interior, where juxtaposed with soft textiles and natural
