This vase from the 1970s, attributed to the Tarnowiec Glassworks, is crafted from thick, hand-blown glass in a deep, plum-purple hue with a lustrous, almost mirror-like finish. The body features a bulbous, organic silhouette that tapers smoothly toward a short, wide neck with a gently flared rim. On each side, clear glass loop handles are symmetrically attached, providing a delicate contrast to the colored body and underscoring the artisanal character of the piece. The thick, transparent base provides stability, while the surface displays subtle irregularities and small air bubbles—including one open bubble on the inner side of the neck—that attest to its handmade origin. The vase is preserved in good vintage condition, with minor signs of use and the characteristic open bubble on the neck, but no significant damage.This vase carries the narrative of the 1970s, a period when Polish glassworks experimented with color and form under the influence of the mid-century modern movement. Its organic shape evokes the quiet rhythms of everyday life from that era, while the deep plum hue reflects light like dusk on water. The clear handles, captured in motion, recall the gesture of an artist allowing glass to freeze in a fleeting form. Each air bubble becomes a microscopic capsule of history—a testament to authenticity and the living connection to a craftsman's studio from decades past.The Tarnowiec vase can be displayed on an oak console or among other glass vessels from the period, where it will emphasize contrasts of color and material. It works well in interiors inspired by mid-century modern style as well as in eclectic, collector-focused spaces, where pairing it with ceramics or matte metal objects creates an engaging play of textures. Placing it where natural light can highlight its color and sheen allows the clear handles to become a subtle accent
