The Arktis vase from the German Georgshütte glassworks exemplifies 1970s design, rooted in the Space Age and Organic Modern movements. Its cylindrical form is crafted from thick, clear pressed glass with a distinctive Ice Bark texture, reminiscent of tree bark or blocks of ice. The smooth interior contrasts with the tactile, three-dimensional exterior, while the proportions—slightly tapering towards a solid base and a subtly scalloped rim—highlight the sculptural quality of the piece. The vase is preserved in very good vintage condition: the glass remains clear and glossy, free from deposits, clouding, or chips; tiny air bubbles within the structure are original and characteristic of the artisanal production techniques of the era.This vase seems to speak of a time when designers drew inspiration equally from nature and futuristic, space-age visions. Its texture diffuses light like a sheet of polar ice under the sun, casting intricate patterns of shadow and reflection. The raw yet intentional shape echoes the 1970s—a decade marked by experimentation with glass technologies and a celebration of both organic and forward-looking forms. Every detail, from the irregular grooves to the substantial base, recalls the spirit of an era where craftsmanship and formal audacity converged.The
