The 'Snowman' vase, designed by Kazimierz Krawczyk for Huta Sudety in Szczytna Śląska in the 1970s, is a distinctive example of Polish glass modernism. Its organic silhouette is composed of three rounded, bulbous segments stacked vertically, crowned by a wide, flared collar. The vase is crafted from soda-lime glass, mass-colored in a deep, saturated burgundy that appears semi-translucent and glossy. The surface is smooth, highly reflective, and uniform, with a mirror-like finish that accentuates its sculptural form. The proportions are harmonious: the broadest point is at the top, while the stable, weighted base ensures secure placement. The absence of visible seams suggests the piece was mouth-blown as a single unit. This object serves both as a decorative candle holder and a delicate vase for single stems. The condition is very good—no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear.This compact piece captures the essence of 1970s Polish glass modernism: minimalist yet full of energy, with a form that subtly echoes anthropomorphic shapes. The 'Snowman' tells the story of an era when bold design and color experimentation responded to the realities of postwar Poland—a piece clearly inspired
