ABOUT PRODUCTID 20260
The 'Eryk' vase, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy in 1971 for Huta Szkła 'Sudety' in Szczytna Śląska, exemplifies Polish glassmaking from the 1970s. Crafted from mass-colored soda glass, the piece glows with an intense, amber-orange hue that radiates depth and luminosity. Its sculptural form is composed of three distinct, undulating sections: a cylindrical base supporting two pronounced, rounded midsections, each separated by narrow waists, resulting in a striking, architectural silhouette. The upper surface is glossy and smooth, while the lower part transitions into a subtle matte, satin finish that introduces a gentle contrast of texture. Measuring 34 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, the vase is free from additional decoration or patterns, focusing attention on color and form—hallmarks of mid-century modern utility glass from Poland. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no signs of wear or damage.The 'Eryk' vase channels the spirit of the 1970s—a period when Polish glass began to express itself with bold, individual character. Its assertive shape and saturated color speak of an era of formal and chromatic experimentation, when designers like Horbowy sought sculptural qualities in everyday objects. The amber glass, reminiscent of captured liquid light, seems to illuminate its surroundings, while the undulating contours echo the vibrant energy of the decade. 'Eryk', free from ornament, communicates through pure form and color, quietly narrating the story of Polish modernism’s fearless creativity.This vase can be paired with other glass or
