The 'Płomień' vase, designed by Zbigniew Horbowy for Huta Szkła 'Sudety' in the 1970s, exemplifies Polish modernism where minimalist aesthetics meet masterful craftsmanship. Its form is slender and dynamic, evoking the silhouette of a torch. Crafted from soda-lime glass colored in the mass, the vase displays a subtle color gradation: an intense orange-red body that transitions from a lighter shade at the top to a deeper, saturated tone near the base. The glass surface is smooth and glossy, while the tonal shifts emphasize the sculptural quality of the piece. A thick, clear base provides a stable counterpoint to the vivid main section and attests to the high standard of execution. The overall design is rooted in 1970s modernism, with clean lines and harmonious proportions. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no damage or visible signs of use.This vase seems to tell the story of an era when modernity was finding its voice in Poland—an age when color and light became equal tools of expression. The 'Płomień' form speaks with an optimistic, bold gesture, inviting light to play with the depth and transparency of the glass. Its tall silhouette rises energetically, offering a subtle visual metaphor
