The 'Sękacz' vase, created by the Polish glassworks Hortensja, is a quintessential example of modernist decorative glass from the 1970s. Mouth-blown and hand-finished, it features a tall, organically elongated silhouette with a rounded, weighty base punctuated by two oval perforations. This grounding base visually counterbalances the wavy, slender neck that gently bifurcates at the rim. The vessel’s translucent chartreuse body is enlivened by expressive swirls in orange, red, cobalt, amber, and turquoise, their movement unbound and naturally diffused across the surface. No additional mountings or appliqués are present; the entire visual effect is achieved through material and color alone. The glossy, hand-polished surface heightens the play of light and color depth, revealing subtle, unique organic undulations characteristic of mouth-blown glass. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no cracks, chips, or repairs. Its original vintage patina remains undisturbed; the surface shows only minor, unobtrusive signs of age that confirm its authenticity.The form and color scheme of this vase give voice to 1970s Polish modernism, when artistic glass became a medium for experimentation and design freedom. The flowing, painterly streaks evoke the spontaneity of brushwork
