ABOUT PRODUCTID 19308
This decorative vase from the 1970s, crafted from glass, stands as an example of Polish mid-century modernism and is likely tied to the production of HSG Tarnów, reflecting the era's experimental spirit in everyday design. Its dominant shade—a pastel, lemon-yellow—imparts a semi-translucent quality, featuring a velvety satin inner surface contrasted with highly polished, transparent edges. The monolithic form, gently undulating with a broad base, opens up into a wide, irregular collar, accented by oval, see-through cut-outs along the sides. These elements allow light to pass through and play along the contrasting textures. The polished rims, seamless transitions between matte and gloss, and absence of visible joints underscore its sculptural presence. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no noticeable chips, cracks, or repairs; minor air bubbles inherent to handmade glass testify to its artisanal nature.This vase captures the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish applied glass sought a unique idiom balancing functional form with artistic freedom. Its outline is filled with gentle tension—organic, asymmetrical lines and subtle shape shifts evoke the creative liberties of the period. The satin surface and flowing contours suggest an underwater scene where light ripples across a shark fin—dynamic, experimental, and evocative. The object embodies a tale of bold material exploration and sensuous craftsmanship, characteristic of early Polish modernist design.The vase can be displayed solo on a solid wood console, where it contrasts both with the grain's structure and the shifting light of an interior. It works as a sculptural accent on its own, or in conjunction with other vessels from the era, understated ceramic forms, or modern artwork. The vessel would suit both organized, minimalist settings and eclectic collector’s interiors, retaining its unique quality without overwhelming the
