This vase, designed by Michał Jakubas in 1977 for the Glass Institute workshop in Kraków, is a notable example of 1970s Polish artistic glass. Crafted from cased, colored glass, it features a vivid, warm red hue with a semi-translucent quality that allows light to pass through and amplifies the richness of the color. The cylindrical form, measuring 27 cm in height and 13 cm in diameter, is adorned with applied decorations: elongated, organic, droplet-like forms and spiral motifs placed vertically around the body. The surface is smooth and finished to a high gloss, enhancing the vibrancy and depth of the color. The proportions are harmonious, while the thick glass gives the piece a sense of solidity and sculptural presence. The vase is in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.The vase recalls the voice of Poland’s 1970s avant-garde, a period when glass became a medium for artistic expression and experimentation. Its shape and decorative details evoke a time when designers boldly embraced color and fluid, organic lines, seeking new ways to reflect the era’s energy. The red body, entwined with spirals and droplets, seems to pulse with light and motion—capturing a fragment of that decade’s spirit: boldness, optimism, and artistic freedom.Placed in a living room or on a console in a communal space, the vase can serve as a vibrant color accent, especially when set against neutral tones or natural wood. It may be paired with other glass objects from the period or with minimalist ceramics to emphasize its expressive character. The piece also works well as a stand-alone sculptural decoration in mid-century modern, eclectic, or collector-inspired interiors referencing 1970s design.
