ABOUT PRODUCTID 31183
The 'Sękacz' vase from the Ząbkowice glassworks, crafted in Poland during the 1970s, stands as a distinctive example of expressive glass design from the late People’s Republic era. Its tall, organic silhouette is defined by irregular knotted protrusions reminiscent of wood grain—a signature motif of this model. Hand-formed from thick soda-lime glass, the vase has a substantial presence. The color palette is dynamic and layered, featuring deep red, fiery orange, golden yellow, and a band of green at the base, all swirling in a marbled composition. The surface is highly glossy and smooth, with a scattering of air bubbles within the glass, attesting to its artisanal, traditional production. The construction is seamless, with an undulating, asymmetrical rim and a rounded, stable base. The vase is in very good vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs—just minor surface scratches on the underside consistent with gentle use and age.The 'Sękacz' captures the spirit of late modernism from Lower Silesia—a period when Polish glassmaking drew inspiration from nature, pursuing sculptural forms and vivid colors. Its organic shape evokes the texture of tree bark, while the energetic interplay of hues recalls the vitality of an era when Polish design embraced freedom and boldness. The Ząbkowice model does not strive for perfection; instead, it celebrates spontaneity and movement—each protrusion and streak of color bearing the mark of handcraft and the creative pulse of its time.This vase may be displayed on a low console or sideboard where natural light can accentuate its color depth and
