ABOUT PRODUCTID 23806
The 'Okulus' vase is a design by Jan Sylwester Drost, produced by the Ząbkowice Glassworks in Poland during the 1960s. Made from pressed soda-lime glass, colored in mass with a deep cobalt blue, the piece features a tall, cylindrical form that gently tapers towards the base. Its surface is adorned with a distinctive geometric, faceted pattern and vertical ribbing, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The semi-transparent glass displays a vivid, evenly saturated hue throughout, while the glossy finish enhances its depth and luminosity. Measuring 22 cm in height and 10.5 cm in diameter, the vase exemplifies mid-century modern aesthetics with its sculptural proportions and emphasis on material and texture. The condition is very good: only minor chipping is visible at the base, typical for its age, with no signs of restoration and all original elements preserved.This vase embodies the narrative of 1960s Polish modernism, when Jan Sylwester Drost—one of the leading designers at Ząbkowice—explored the expressive potential of glass through innovative structure and color. The deep cobalt, encased in a transparent, faceted body, evokes the era’s fascination with light, form, and rhythm. The pattern seems to shift with every change in lighting, inviting a visual dialogue: sometimes recalling the golden age of Polish glass design, at other times retreating into shadow as light glides over its vertical grooves.The 'Okulus' vase can be paired with both minimalist and classically styled
