The 'Okulus' vase, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for Huta Szkła Gospodarczego 'Ząbkowice' in the 1960s and 1970s, is an emblematic example of Polish pressed glass. Crafted from solid, mass-colored glass in a vivid emerald green, the vase displays a sculptural, geometric form with angular facets and prismatic planes. Its cylindrical silhouette gently tapers towards a thick, stable base, while the glossy, almost mirrored surface amplifies the interplay of light and reflections. Free of additional fittings or embellishments, the visual impact relies entirely on its bold geometry and saturated color. The vase measures 23 cm in height and 11 cm in diameter. It is preserved in very good condition, with clear, undamaged glass.The 'Okulus' vase tells the story of Polish modernism—a period when glass transcended its utilitarian roots and became a vehicle for avant-garde expression. Its faceted surfaces capture and refract light like prisms, while the deep green hue evokes the optimistic, forward-looking spirit of the postwar era. This object speaks in the language of its time: disciplined form merges with industrial technique, transforming a simple vase into a small architectural study—a reflection of fascination with geometry and light.The vase can be displayed solo on a low console of light wood or stone to highlight its play of light and shadow.
