This pressed glass vase, produced by HSG Ząbkowice in Poland during the 1970s, exemplifies the period’s pragmatic modernism. The material is defined by its distinctly translucent rosé hue—a warm, softly muted pink with amber undertones, particularly concentrated at the weighty base. The shape is cylindrical with a slight taper toward the base, culminating in a wide, gently flaring rim. Surface texture features a regular grid of raised rectangular blocks that create a boldly geometric relief and lend a tactile, architectural dimension; there are no extraneous decorations, handles, or metallic elements—the appeal stems exclusively from the purity of the material and the precision of the molded form. All joints are seamlessly integrated, with no visible mold lines, and the entire surface is finished with a mild gloss that gently disperses light. The vase bears no maker’s mark. Its condition is very good: there are no chips, cracks, scratches, or discoloration, and the surface remains entirely original to the decade.The form and finish evoke the voice of 1970s Polish modernism—a time when optimism was found even in utilitarian objects, and everyday glassware aspired to a sculptural presence. Light passes through the colored glass, catching soft highlights and projecting geometric shadows across any surface, like a fragment of cityscape captured indoors. The pronounced regularity of the relief reflects both the disciplined and creative aspects of the era’s architecture, where functionality paired with daring color and structure. The restraint of the form allows light and fleeting daily details to become part of the vase’s quiet story.The vase may be displayed alongside other glassware in hues of pink, amber, or
