ABOUT PRODUCTID 36489
The 'hourglass' vase designed by Zbigniew Horbowy for Huta Szkła 'Sudety' in Szczytna Śląska stands as an iconic example of Polish glass artistry from the 1970s. Its sculptural form is defined by a harmonious, dual-sectioned silhouette with a pronounced central waist, achieving a balanced, striking proportion. The body is crafted from soda-lime glass, colored in the mass and richly aerated—fine bubbles characteristic of the antico technique are visible throughout. The vivid orange hue is contrasted by milky, opalescent 'świnkowe' accents concentrated near the top edge, shifting in tone depending on the light. The glossy surface is completed by a precisely ground, slightly concave base. The vase is presented in very good condition, with no signs of damage or loss.This vase speaks with the voice of an era when the Polish School of Glass explored the interplay of color, light, and organic form. The distinctive waist evokes the passage of time—like a vessel narrating moments suspended within glass. The opalescent 'świnkowe' details interact with their surroundings: under changing light, their character transforms from soft, milky tones to pearly iridescence. It is an object that lives within the space, subtly responding to every shift of sunlight and shadow.The vase
