This vase from the Ząbkowice Glassworks, designed in the late 1960s and 1970s, is crafted from transparent pressed sodium glass. Its clear, colorless tone enhances the geometric composition: rhythmically raised, intersecting rectangles with bevelled edges produce a pronounced, tactile relief. The piece is defined by its cylindrical proportions, with straight, vertical sides and a flat, stable base. A glossy finish covers the surface, amplifying the interplay of light across the smooth and faceted sections. The construction is seamless and characteristic of pressed glass, with substantial wall thickness ensuring solidity and stability. There are no visible signs of use, chips, or repairs. Condition: excellent, without damage.This vase gives voice to late-modernist Poland—a period when glass craftsmanship and industry met halfway, seeking expression in minimalist yet visually resonant forms. The relief surface tells a story of fascination with rhythm and light; under the fingers, the pattern feels almost graphic, while to the eye it echoes the architectural cadence of modernist façades. The glass filters light in a cool, understated but expressive manner—each edge reflects the era’s aesthetic transformations.The Ząbkowice vase can be displayed as a stand-alone accent on a console or shelf, or grouped with other objects of simple, geometric contours to create a modernist-inspired collector’s vignette. It would work well with pale wood, concrete, or textiles in neutral tones; combining it with coloured glass or ceramics can highlight its transparency. Mid-century modern interiors, collecting spaces, or minimalist arrangements will best showcase the vase’s relief texture and the shifting play of light on its surface.
