ABOUT PRODUCTID 13888
Designed by Michał Jakubas for the Krakow Glass Institute in the 1970s, this vase embodies Polish modernism defined by clear function, geometric purity, and assertive use of color. Shaped from opaque glass in a saturated, cool blue with a delicate gradient, its elongated cylindrical body and softly rounded shoulders emphasize minimalist lines. A distinctive feature is the spiral glass ribbon wrapping the piece from base to top—a three-dimensional accent with a glossier and denser texture than the smooth main body, providing visual dynamism. The entire piece is glass with no metal or wooden elements, underscoring its adherence to material integrity. The vase bears visible evidence of age, specifically a small break in the upper part of the spiral ribbon, yet remains fully functional as both a utilitarian and collectible item. Condition described as worn: a minor break is present in the upper section of the spiral, which does not affect stability or everyday usability.This form tells the story of 1970s Polish modernism, where simplicity of line meets originality of color and a decorative gesture. The blue glass reflects light like a calm river, recalling an era when applied arts favored understated expression. The spiral is a record of movement—a trace of the artisan’s hand imparting unique character—while its minor flaw signifies not a flaw, but authenticity and history.The vase may be set within minimalist interiors as a striking centerpiece, or amidst more eclectic compositions, such as alongside Scandinavian furniture or glassware from other eras. It suits display on a low console, surrounded by textiles in neutral tones or simple ceramics. Placing it against a light wall
