This set of six glasses, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy for the 'Barbara' Artistic Glassworks in Polanica-Zdrój, exemplifies a bold reinterpretation of classic utilitarian glass from the 1970s. Each glass is based on a fluent, organic line, where the bowl, stem, and base merge into one elongated, pointed form without distinct separations typical of traditional glasses. The mass-colored soda glass is hand-formed using a gradient technique, resulting in an intense orange at the top that transitions into a transparent and then milky-orange stem. The finish is smooth and glossy, with precisely polished rims; the tall (23 cm) and slender (4.8 cm diameter) proportions emphasize the modernist, almost sculptural character of the design. The listed price refers to the set of six glasses. All items are preserved in very good condition, with no chips or losses.The form of these glasses tells the story of experimentation and the daring spirit of Polish design in the 1970s—a period when Zbigniew Horbowy redefined the function and aesthetics of glassware. The transparent color gradation and dynamic silhouette evoke the pulsating energy of modernism, where light and color become as important as utility. These objects, like frozen gestures of glass in motion, speak of
