This shaded glass vase, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy and produced in 1971 at Huta Szkła 'Sudety' in Poland, exemplifies 1970s modernism. Crafted from colored soda glass with a smooth, glossy finish, the vase features a cylindrical body that subtly narrows toward the base, lending visual balance and stability. Its coloration transitions from an intense, warm orange at the top to an olive-brown hue at the base, creating a striking gradient effect. The gently flared neck culminates in an expressive, undulating rim accented with a translucent yellowish tint, providing a delicate contrast to the main body. The glass surface is entirely smooth, devoid of visible texture or abrasion, reflecting the high quality of Polish art glass from this period. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no damage or visible signs of use.This piece captures the spirit of Polish modernism in the 1970s, when bold color and expressive form became integral to everyday objects. The color gradient, reminiscent of changing daylight, suggests both dawn and dusk encapsulated in glass. The organic, irregular waves of the rim speak to a freedom of creation—where geometry meets the spontaneity of hand-finished details. The vase seems to tell a story of an era in which craftsmanship and artistic boldness merged, and color became a declaration.It may be paired with other 1970s objects, such as geometric vases, subdued ceramics, or brass accents to accentuate its
