ABOUT PRODUCTID 19571
The 'Okulus' vase was produced by the Ząbkowice Glassworks in Poland during the 1970s and exemplifies the mid-century modern ethos. Crafted from transparent glass in an intense, cool azure blue hue, it features a semi-glossy, light-reflective surface that enhances the depth of color saturation. The vessel’s body is adorned with irregular vertical grooves, imparting a tactile and visual richness; light traveling through these organic textures reveals shifting shades of blue. The overall silhouette is cylindrical yet softened by gently undulating edges, with a slender, rounded base that transitions seamlessly into the vessel's form. No additional decoration or colors distract from the purity of its composition; the focus remains squarely on shape and chromatic intensity, in line with 1970s modernist values. The piece retains a very good vintage condition, with no visible cracks, chips, or significant signs of use.This vase echoes the voice of the optimistic modernity of the 1970s: glass—once considered a luxury—here takes on a democratic, accessible spirit, simultaneously transparent and expressive. Its dynamic, hand-finished texture and azure tone speak to an era enamored with light and color; each streak of illumination flickers across the surface like a fragment of day held in suspension. The simple silhouette, animated by organic relief, seems to say: “Color and light are enough—the rest belongs to the imagination of those who behold.”The Okulus vase would be well-suited for display in a living area, placed on a sideboard or low table, ideally where natural light can amplify its color play and depth. It integrates seamlessly within mid-century modern arrangements—surrounded by light wood, white ceramics, or geometric prints. One could pair it with objects of minimal form, or allow it to stand alone against a muted wall, highlighting its modernist lineage and artisanal surface.
