The 'Ćwieki' vase, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for HSG Ząbkowice (a part of Huta Szkła Inwald) in the 1970s, exemplifies Polish utility glass where modernist geometry blends with decorative functionality. Crafted from colored sodium glass in a warm, translucent peach-pink tone, the vase features a tall, slightly tapered cylindrical silhouette and a hexagonal base, emphasizing the precision of the design. Its entire surface is adorned with a regular rhythm of raised, rhombus-shaped studs, creating a tactile, three-dimensional pattern that enlivens the form through the play of light on its glossy surface. The glass is thick and robust, with no visible chips or damage. The overall condition is very good, with both the original color and sheen preserved.Every detail of this vase tells the story of 1970s Polish design: an era when pressed glass technology enabled bold experimentation with texture and light. The geometry of the 'studs' evokes the spirit of optimism and the quest for new forms so characteristic of Drost’s work—pure, confident surface play that continues to captivate. The vase is a reminder of a time when glass was meant to be both utilitarian and sculptural, bringing a daily dose of modernity into the home.The vase can be displayed alongside other glass accessories from the era or left solo on a console or sideboard, where its geometric surface will interact beautifully with the ambient light. It works well in mid-century modern, eclectic, or collector interiors where material expression and form take center stage. It can be paired with light or contrasting backgrounds and simple metal or wooden accents to highlight its original modernist character.Height: 23.5 cm, diameter: 13.5 cm. Made of colored and pressed sodium glass. Very
