ABOUT PRODUCTID 36482
This pitcher, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy for the Sudety Glassworks in Szczytna Śląska, exemplifies Polish mid-century modern glass design from the 1970s. Crafted from soda-lime glass colored in the mass, it stands out with its saturated amber-gold hue and bulbous, rounded silhouette, accentuated by a pronounced spout. The dense network of small air bubbles, characteristic of the antico foamed glass technique, lends the piece a sense of depth and visual dynamism, while the glossy, transparent surface highlights the expressive quality of the material. The handle, made from the same amber glass and seamlessly integrated with the neck and shoulder, as well as the precisely polished, stable base, attest to the high craftsmanship. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damages or signs of wear.This pitcher carries the voice of 1970s optimism. Its organic, rounded form and luminous amber evoke the era’s Polish design, intent on blending function with the poetics of light. The entrapped bubbles act as tiny capsules of air, capturing movement and lightness—as if the vessel tells the story of a time when applied arts were meant not just to serve, but to bring breath and brightness into the home. Every ray that passes through the pale amber glass casts subtle reflections, infusing the surrounding space with a sense of lightness and understated energy.Horbowy’s pitcher may be displayed on a contemporary dining table or atop a side
