This amphora-shaped vase, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy for Huta Szkła 'Sudety' in the 1970s, embodies the artistry of Polish mid-century modern glasswork. The tall, slender silhouette (height 47 cm) is crafted from soda-lime glass, mass-colored in a deep honey-orange tone. The glossy, smooth surface diffuses light, enhancing the color’s depth and warmth. Two boldly curved handles in translucent red glass provide a striking contrast to the body’s gentle hue, introducing a dynamic, graphic accent. The composition is completed by an orange glass thread around the mouth and a precisely polished, lens-shaped base. The proportions reveal a harmonious, elegant geometry and demonstrate meticulous craftsmanship in every detail. The vase is preserved in very good condition, free from damage or signs of wear.This object gives voice to an era when Polish glassmaking reached international prominence – the 1970s, when Zbigniew Horbowy explored monumental forms and vibrant colors. Its expressive form seems to converse with its surroundings: the honey-colored body evokes luminous, optimistic moods, while the red handles recall the energy and modernity of Polish design in that decade. The vase strikes a balance between tranquil elegance and bold, colorful vibrancy, remaining true to the spirit of the 1970
