ABOUT PRODUCTID 33829
This opaline glass vase, designed by Ludwik Fiedorowicz in 1982 for the HSA 'Staszic' glassworks, exemplifies late modernist Polish glass design. Its gently tapered cylindrical body expands into a pronounced, irregularly zigzagged rim, lending the object a dynamic, sculptural presence. The glass, colored in the mass, features a warm, milky opaline hue with subtle yellow-beige gradients that transition into cooler, bluish tones near the base, accentuating the vase’s opalescent quality. The surface is smooth and glossy, devoid of pattern or texture; dimensions are 20 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter. Preserved in very good condition, the vase shows no damage or restoration, presenting the original intent of the designer.The vase speaks in the voice of early-1980s Polish modernism, when glass was expected to be both functional and sensuous. Its soft, light-absorbing tones recall the gentle play of illumination in period interiors, while the irregular rim suggests a moment captured in motion. This piece seems to whisper of creative freedom, evoking an era when designers experimented boldly with form and color—its opalescent surface creating a luminous aura that brings a poetic lightness to everyday life.The vase may be used as a solo accent on a contemporary wood or stone console, where it will underscore the minimalism of its setting. It pairs well with other glass objects—especially those with matte or transparent finishes—creating a subtle interplay of texture and color. Interiors inspired by mid-century modern, minimalist, or eclectic vintage styles would provide a natural backdrop for this form. It can be paired with a single, sculptural branch or left empty to showcase its distinctive silhouette.
