ABOUT PRODUCTID 4411
The 'Czosnek' (Garlic) vase, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for Huta Szkła Gospodarczego Ząbkowice in the 1970s, is made of soda-lime glass in a warm, milky white shade with a subtle creamy undertone. Its form is almost spherical, accentuated by pronounced vertical lobes reminiscent of the natural segments of a garlic bulb, lending it a sculptural and organic quality. The short neck flares gently into a wide, flat rim, providing a striking counterpoint to the rounded contours of the body. The glass is thick and precisely formed, with a uniformly glossy surface that reflects light softly. The vase measures 18.5 cm in height and 19 cm in diameter. It remains in excellent condition, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of wear. This object carries the spirit of 1970s Polish modernism: an emphasis on organic inspiration, simplicity, and functional artistry with a poetic dimension. The glossy, white surface reflects light with a softness typical of the era’s design language, while the distinct segmentations evoke a dialogue with nature, as if the vase itself narrates a story of returning to order and harmony. Every detail—from the balanced proportions to the seamless transitions between lobes—recalls the pursuit of beauty in everyday objects and the natural motifs cherished by Polish modernism. The 'Czosnek' vase can be paired with minimalist interiors in the modernist tradition or incorporated into more eclectic, collector-based arrangements. It is well suited to a place on an oak console or a low sideboard, where its sculptural qualities are enhanced by daylight or a soft-shaded wall lamp. It may be displayed with a single branch or left empty, as it stands as a powerful decorative accent on its own. Interiors in light tones, complemented by glass, ceramics, or natural
