ABOUT PRODUCTID 12683
The optical vase designed by Jan Drost for the Ząbkowice Glassworks in the 1970s exemplifies Polish pressed glass from the modernist era. This object is crafted from thick, soda-lime glass in a deep olive-yellow tone. The entire surface is covered with an embossed, geometric pattern – a grid of horizontal and vertical ridges – producing an optical effect and creating a rhythmic play of light and shadow. Its form is rectangular, slightly waisted, and supported by a thick, stable base that emphasizes both function and structural solidity. The glass is glossy and transparent, with a tactile relief on the sides from the grid pattern, contrasted by perfectly smooth areas between the raised elements. No visible damage, discoloration, or repairs are present; the piece survives in very good condition, confirming its collectable quality.This vase captures the spirit of an era fascinated by light, structure, and repetition—almost as if the optimistic rhythm of the 1970s is caught in glass, when designers sought modern, dynamic forms for everyday objects. Its geometric texture asserts that even utilitarian pieces can elicit unique visual sensations. It is the voice of a time marked by industrial experimentation with artistic ambitions: light shimmers across the olive surface, evoking interiors crafted for modernity but not devoid of crafted quality.The vase could be paired with a simple, veneered sideboard in a mid-century modern style or with colorful glass for contrasting textures and tones. It will suit a background of light marble, concrete, or wood, where natural light can accentuate the rhythmic geometry of its surface. Combining it with subtle accessories—such as minimalist sculptures or a single branch—will allow the optical pattern to stand out without competing with an abundance of detail. It may serve in a curated collection or function as a distinctive decorative element in a modernist setting.
