This vase, designed by Kazimierz Krawczyk for the Sudety Glassworks in the 1970s, is a quintessential example of Polish mid-century modern glass artistry. Its silhouette is tall and slender (45 cm), crowned with a distinctive constriction and a wide, sculptural collar that gives the piece a sense of architectural discipline. The body is crafted from cased glass in a saturated, vivid red that deepens towards the base into nearly black tones. Two round handles made of translucent orange glass punctuate the minimalist form, adding a dynamic accent. The surface is smooth and glossy, subtly translucent, allowing light to play within the vessel. The base is finished with a polished lens pontil, attesting to its handcrafted origin. The condition is very good – there are no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear.This vase evokes an era when Polish glass design embraced bold color and form, drawing inspiration from the modernist tradition of the 1960s and 1970s. Its slender silhouette recalls the architectural ambitions of the time, while the vivid red seems to pulse with the optimism of the pop-art era. The orange 'ears' are reminiscent of the sculptural experiments in glass studios, where each detail was deliberate and meaningful. It is a piece that speaks in the language of creative confidence, yet maintains the nobility of artisanal craftsmanship.The vase could be displayed as a centerpiece on a console, sideboard, or modern dining table. It would work beautifully in mid-century modern interiors, paired with geometric artwork, dark wood, or Murano glass to emphasize its collectible pedigree. In more eclectic settings, it can be matched with vivid
