This vase, designed by Kazimierz Krawczyk for Huta Sudety in the 1970s, exemplifies the artistry of Polish mid-century modern glass.

The proportions highlight the vase’s height and fluidity, while the absence of visible seams or joints attests to the high standard of craftsmanship. The piece remains in very good vintage condition, with no visible wear, chips, or restoration.The vase tells the story of 1970s Polish modernism, echoing an era when color and light were equal protagonists to form.

The vase may be paired with graphite or black accents to intensify the burgundy and orange hues, or grouped with other glass pieces from the era, especially those referencing the
