The Okulus vase, produced by HSG Ząbkowice in the 1970s, serves as a quintessential example of Polish pressed glassware within the mid-century modern idiom. Its cylindrical form gently narrows towards the base, crafted from transparent glass in a cool, light blue pastel shade—a homogeneous and airy coloration that runs throughout the vase. The surface is animated by dynamic vertical grooves interspersed with geometric, faceted motifs reminiscent of crystalline structures, accentuating both optical movement and light diffusion. This faceting, coupled with the slightly thickened, stable base, refracts and scatters light, emphasizing the clarity and vibrancy of the single-tone finish. The overall appearance is glossy, devoid of any painted or colored accents, and distinguishes itself through its pure form and prismatic surface. The vase displays no visible signs of wear: it is free from chips, cracks, clouding, or restoration and remains in very good collector's condition, with the glossy sheen uniformly preserved.Okulus speaks with the voice of late-1970s Polish modernism, drawing on the ambition to distill expression from the constraints of mass production. Its pressed texture, organic undulations, and cool luster tell a story of light filtering through Silesian glassworks, where each sculpted surface worked to orchestrate interplay between glow and shadow. Even when left empty, the vase draws the eye like a stone polished by water—freezing movement in
