ABOUT PRODUCTID 19574
The Optical Vase, designed by Jan Drost in the 1970s for Ząbkowice Glassworks, exemplifies Polish industrial design from the height of the modernist era. Crafted from pressed, transparent glass in a nearly colorless, cool tone, the vase is distinguished by its cylindrical silhouette and pronounced, horizontal ribbed pattern encircling the body. The raised, undulating ribs create a striking optical depth, while the thick and stable base underlines the vase’s functional intent. The top rim is flat with a subtle, softened edge, and the overall finish is glossy and crystalline. The glass shows no visible bubbles, chips, or cracks. It remains in very good condition, with no evidence of repair or damage.This vase resonates with the modernist fascination for light and engineered clarity—the geometric rhythm of its ridges captures the spirit of the 1970s, when glass evolved from a utilitarian medium into an artistic material. Its transparency absorbs and diffuses light, casting subtle patterns of reflections and shadows on surrounding surfaces. The object transforms a seemingly austere form into a quiet invitation to observe how its gentle undulations interact with the every day.The vase may be combined with darker ceramics or raw wood, heightening the contrast of textures and spotlighting the optical depth of its pattern. It performs well against neutral, matte backdrops or white settings, and fits mid-century modern, collectible, or minimalist interiors. It is worth pairing with a simple graphic or a single branch so that the rhythm of the ribs and the harmony of the form can fully unfold.Cleaning should be done with a soft sponge and lukewarm water, avoiding aggressive detergents—this preserves the glossy finish and crisp texture of the surface. The authenticity of its Ząbkowice origin is confirmed by the typical features of pressed glass and the decorative motifs
