This set of six stemmed glasses, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy for the 'Barbara' Artistic Glassworks in Polanica Zdrój, dates from the 1970s. Each glass is crafted from mass-colored soda-lime glass, featuring a distinctive gradient of green: from a deep, saturated hue at the base and along the slender stem, to a lighter, translucent tone in the gently flared bowl. The surface is smooth and glossy, with no visible imperfections. The design reflects mid-century modern aesthetics, with balanced proportions, wide and stable bases, and a subtly angular transition between the bowl and stem. The set is preserved in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or signs of wear.These glasses embody the spirit of 1970s Polish modernism—a utilitarian object that speaks to experimentation with color and light. The shading of the glass, shifting from vivid green to delicate transparency, recalls an era eager for innovation in everyday objects. Light refracts through the saturated color, lending a sense of occasion to every toast, while the harmonious silhouette imparts a sense of lightness and precision.The set can be paired with other mid-century glassware or minimalist porcelain to highlight its bold coloration. It would suit both a classically set table and interiors inspired by the design language of the 1960s and 70s, where gradient-colored glassware provides a subtle pop of color. Consider combining them with natural wood or matte metal elements to emphasize the gloss and depth of the green glass—ideal for both entertaining and everyday use.Height: 12.5 cm, diameter: 7 cm. Material: mass-colored soda-lime glass. The set requires no special care beyond standard cleaning for functional glassware.
