ABOUT PRODUCTID 33660
The set of three 'Cyntia' vases is a classic example of Polish artistic glass from the 1970s, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy and produced at the 'Barbara' Artistic Glassworks in Polanica-Zdrój, part of the Inwald Glassworks. These vases are crafted from cased, mass-colored sodium glass with a striking gradient: a vivid, warm red smoothly transitions into a fiery orange-yellow at the neck and rim. The forms are rooted in the spirit of mid-century modern design—bold, geometric, with softly rounded walls and short cylindrical bases. Two vases are more slender (16 × 9.5 × 9.5 cm), while the third features a fuller silhouette (16 × 14 × 14 cm). The surface is glossy and highly reflective, with thick glass and seamless color transitions underscoring the craftsmanship of the Polish glassmaking tradition. The set is preserved in very good condition—no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.These vases resonate with the energy of their era: the 1970s expressed itself through vibrant color and expressive form. The glass tells the story of Horbowy—a designer who broke the monotony of everyday life with the power of color and light. The ombré transitions evoke the glow of hot glass fresh from the furnace, while the smooth surface invites a tactile experience of Polish design history. Each piece brings a sense of optimism and bold, collectible energy to any interior.The 'Cyntia' vases can be grouped on a low teak sideboard or a minimalist table in the living room, where their colors will gain intensity in natural light. They may be paired with decorative glass or ceramics
