ABOUT PRODUCTID 19550
The Optical Vase designed by Jan Drost for Huta Szkła Gospodarczego Ząbkowice is a creation from the 1970s, emblematic of Polish mid-century modern glassmaking. Crafted from pressed glass in a warm amber-orange hue, the vase presents a distinctive geometric rhythm of horizontal grooves encircling its ovoid-cylindrical body. Thick walls and a slightly elevated base reinforce the proportions characteristic of Ząbkowice’s production era—offering solidity along with optical lightness derived from its sculptural texture. The glossy finish intensifies the interplay of light, and the glass’s consistent color and clarity showcase the high quality of Ząbkowice craftsmanship. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear.This vase embodies the narrative of Poland’s golden age of design, where technical expertise met the fascination of exploring light through form. Its tactile grooves and recurring pattern echo the optimism of modernism—a moment when an everyday object was elevated to a play of optical phenomena. The transparent surface welcomes and refracts the light, animating the surrounding space with subtle highlights and soft shadows—a testimony to an era when utilitarian vessels aspired to sculptural presence.The vase may be paired with more massive ceramic vessels for a compelling contrast of textures, or set against white, concrete, or neutral backgrounds. It is especially well suited for mid-century modern interiors: next to clean-lined furniture, minimalist graphics, or a single bold branch.
