The H23-200 vase from Hortensja Glassworks, made in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland in the 1970s, represents an emblematic example of Polish mid-century decorative glass. Its construction is robust – a moderately tall, slightly tapered rectangular block molded from thick, transparent glass with a cool, frosted matte finish. Across its surface, a pronounced raised relief mimics dew drops: irregular oval and round shapes that give the vase distinct visual and tactile texture and evidence its pressed-glass technique. There are no additional colored accents or metal fittings, emphasizing its minimalist, modernist profile. Its proportions – 23 cm in height, 9 cm in width, and a weight of 1 kg – create a sturdy impression while remaining quietly restrained. The piece remains in good vintage condition, with slight surface scratches at the base from movement, but shows no visible cracks or chips. This vase quietly evokes the story of Poland's golden era of utilitarian glassmaking: the transparency of the mass feels as if it holds the memory of an early morning, cool and filled with soft light. The subtle matte surface disperses reflections, reminiscent of the industrial rhythm of the Piotrków Trybunalski factory, which, for decades, transformed the everyday into objects of understated beauty. Designed for the modernist interiors of the 1970s, the vase now whispers of precise craftsmanship and the kind of simplicity that lets light dance over its sculpted surface. Touch reveals echoes of Polish tradition – somewhat austere, yet rooted in a steadfast sense of form. It could be paired with geometric teak or walnut sideboards to engage in a dialogue
