The 'okulus' vase from the 1970s is a piece of Polish pressed glass produced by HSG Ząbkowice. Its cylindrical form gently narrows towards the base, crafted from uniform, clear glass with a cool tone and high clarity. Vertical ribbing interplays with organic, wave-like dimples across the surface, giving the vase both a dynamic sculptural texture and a distinctive tactile quality. The base features precisely faceted, geometric cuts that not only enhance stability but also enrich the decorative interplay with light. The finish remains glossy and entirely transparent, without colored accents or superfluous ornamentation. With no visible chips, cracks, or wear, the vase is remarkably well preserved, showing no evidence of restoration.The silhouette expresses the language of late-1970s Polish modernism – the bold textural play and glasswork narrate an era when local craftsmanship sought creative expression within the boundaries of industrial production. The vase seems to whisper a story of light drifting into Silesian glassworks, of cool material under the hand, and a fascination with fluid, natural motion. Its sculpted surface refracts light, tracing a rhythmic grid of shadows across any surface – even without flowers, the vase draws the eye, as if holding the momentary flow of water.In a living room or atop a modern console, this vase could be paired with a single branch or minimalist bouquet to highlight its tactile character. It would suit backdrops of raw timber or interiors inspired by mid-century modern style, mixing light textiles, simple shapes, or calm-toned ceramics. Pairing it with lighting featuring opal shades or contrasting black accents could enhance the play
