This tall, cylindrical vase from the 1970s is crafted from opaque, milky white glass—a material closely associated with Polish modernism of the era. Its proportions are carefully balanced: the base is gently widened for stability, the smooth surface gleams as it catches the light, and a matching domed lid adds an architectural finish. The lid is topped with a clear, reflective knob, introducing the piece’s only visual accent against the uniform white body. The absence of decoration or colored motifs strictly adheres to the modernist ethos of purity and functional clarity. Likely produced by HSG Tarnowiec, the vase reflects the design thinking of the time, prioritising utility and understated detail over ornamentation. It has been preserved in excellent vintage condition, with no visible signs of wear or damage.The silhouette of this vase tells the story of a moment when Polish designers embraced the language of modernism—seeking balance between the everyday and the forward-looking. The milky tone of the glass evokes the haze of an early morning, imparting a sense of calm and order, while its glossy finish draws lines of light across the surface. The domed lid crowned by a transparent knob completes the form, adding an intriguing accent that shimmers like a drop of dew on a geometric landscape. This vessel stands as a quiet witness to a time when mature modernism shifted toward daily functionality, reflecting the era’s discreet aesthetic discipline.The vase can be paired with period-correct pieces such as minimalist consoles, low sideboards with clean lines, or black-and-white graphic prints. It feels at home in both mid-century collectors’ interiors and light, Scandinavian-inspired spaces, where its soft-white glass can fully reveal its subtle composition.
