This vase, designed by Michał Jakubas and produced at the Glass Institute workshop in Kraków in 1972, exemplifies Polish artistic glass from the 1970s. Its sculptural, geometric silhouette features a wide, trumpet-shaped mouth flowing seamlessly into a rounded, bulbous center, descending to a slender cylindrical stem anchored on a double-layered, disc-shaped base. The entire piece is made from glass colored in a cool, saturated green. The surface is smooth and glossy, free of pattern or texture, and the proportions reflect the mid-century modernist idiom typical of the era’s Polish design. The transitions between forms are subtle and precise. The vase is preserved in very good condition, showing no signs of damage, wear, or restoration.Within this form is contained a narrative of 1970s Polish modernism, when glass became a field for artistic experimentation with color and light. The cool, balanced green and clear, defined lines evoke the atmosphere of past studios where simplicity was a statement of contemporary audacity. The vase stands as a silent witness to an era striving for harmony between function and expressive form—its color and shape speak of a search for balance and enduring relevance.It can be displayed alongside other glass objects from the 1960s and 1970s to highlight a collector’s interior. The vase works well on an oak sideboard or a minimalist shelf, where light playing across the glossy surface will bring out the depth of its color. It is worth pairing with raw, geometric forms—such as a metal figure, matte ceramics, or a graphic in a black frame—to underline its modernist origins and the strength of its chromatic accent.The vase measures 33.5 cm in height and 12.6 cm in diameter. The colored glass maintains an even,
