The 'Snowman' vase, designed by Kazimierz Krawczyk and produced at the Sudety Glassworks in Szczytna Śląska during the 1970s, embodies the essence of the Polish School of Glass and the modernist spirit of the era. Its organic silhouette, composed of three rounded, stacked segments seamlessly flowing into a wide, outward-flaring collar, is crafted from soda-lime glass colored in mass with a distinct gradient effect. The color transitions from a deep, saturated amber at the base to a luminous yellow at the rim. The surface is perfectly smooth and highly glossy, showing no signs of wear or damage. This piece serves both as a vase and a candleholder, with proportions and clarity of form that recall the design language initiated by Zbigniew Horbowy. The vase is preserved in very good condition – no chips, cracks, or visible traces of use.This object speaks in the language of the 1970s—a decade when glass was intended to be both a daily utility and a medium for modern artistic expression. The 'Snowman' vase invites light to play across its surface: the color gradient ensures that each ray is refracted in a unique tone, while the gentle lines of its form evoke the optimistic aesthetic of Polish modernism. Like a drop of honey suspended in time, this vase captures the atmosphere of artistic experimentation in the Polish People's Republic, telling the story of designers who sought new definitions of beauty in everyday objects.The vase can stand alone atop an oak console or light wood sideboard, allowing its amber hues to fully resonate. It would also pair well with minimalist candleholders or neutral-toned ceramic vessels. Whether in a mid-century modern interior, an eclectic collector’s space, or a contemporary setting with a vintage accent, the 'Snowman' introduces a refined note of Polish 1970s design wherever detail and light are valued.
