The Okulus vase, produced in the 1970s by Ząbkowice Glassworks in Poland, exemplifies mid-century modern Polish pressed glassware. Its cylindrical silhouette gently tapers toward the base, while the surface is adorned with a mix of vertical grooves and organic, undulating indentations. Rhythmic texturing is interwoven with geometric faceted cuts around the lower section, resulting in a dynamic play of light, depth, and reflection. The material—a clear, lightly green-toned glass of cool hue—highlights the clarity of form and imparts a distinct yet unadorned presence. There are no visible seams or construction joints, while the thickened base adds stability. No additional fittings or decorative elements are present. The vase is preserved in very good condition, showing no chips, cracks, or restoration marks.This vase evokes the narrative of Polish design from the mid-1970s, when glass craftsmen in Silesian factories turned the constraints of mass production into an advantage, shaping objects that were as sculptural as they were functional. The textured surface refracts and scatters light, projecting a lattice of shadows onto its surroundings. The cool, minimalist coloration conveys the era’s sense of clarity and restraint. Even when empty, the vase draws the eye, its subtly modeled form capturing and suspending fleeting moments of light.Placed on a modern console or table, the vase could be paired with a single branch or minimalist bouquet to accentuate its deep textural character. It would also suit a raw wooden dining surface or a setting inspired by mid-century modern style—paired with pale fabrics, tranquil-toned ceramics, or lighting with milky glass shades.
