ABOUT PRODUCTID 3153
This vase, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for the Ząbkowice Glassworks, exemplifies Polish art glass from the 1970s. Hand-formed from soda glass colored within the mass, it features dominant shades of yellow and orange, enriched by irregular, marbled streaks of white and lighter yellow. The form stands 42 cm tall and 15 cm wide, with a slender body that gently widens towards the base, a narrowing neck, and an asymmetrical, undulating rim. The surface is glossy and smooth, reflecting light softly and enhancing both the vibrancy of the colors and the fluidity of the shape. The base is precisely ground. The vase is in excellent condition—there are no visible signs of damage or wear. This piece conveys the creative experimentation of the 1970s, a period when Polish utilitarian glass boldly embraced organic forms and expressive, saturated colors. The shape evokes a flowing sculpture, with hues swirling as if suspended in molten glass, while the irregular rim lends a sense of movement and spontaneity. As an object, it encapsulates the spirit of its era: the courage to combine colors, a fascination with natural motifs, and meticulous craftsmanship. Its smooth surface and dynamic contour allow the vase to ‘speak’ in the language of that vibrant artistic period. The vase can be displayed on a low console or classic sideboard, where
