The 'Sękacz' vase from Huta Wołomin, produced in Poland around 1970, is crafted from thick, hand-formed glass. Its construction is defined by an organic, sculptural silhouette with undulating, irregular contours and a wide, wavy rim reminiscent of tree bark or molten glass—a hallmark of mid-century modern aesthetics. The dominant hue is a warm, translucent yellow with subtle gradients that create a luminous, sunlit effect. Its glossy, highly polished surface enhances the clarity and depth of the glass. The base is solid and slightly heavier, providing stability, while visible traces of manual craftsmanship and gentle asymmetry emphasize the artisanal nature of the piece. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear—condition is very good. This vase tells the story of an era when Polish art glass was gaining international recognition. Its dynamic form and glowing yellows evoke the spirit of the 1970s—a time when designers at Huta Wołomin experimented freely with the medium, letting glass flow and settle into forms inspired by nature. Each subtle variation left by the glassmaker’s hand speaks of an approach that blurred the line between utility and artistic expression. In daylight, the vase appears to capture and diffuse sunlight, as if preserving a fragment of a summer afternoon. In an interior, the 'Sękacz' vase could be paired with mid-century modern furnishings—placed atop a low wooden sideboard or beside simple, veneered shelving. It works well as a standalone accent on a marble surface or amongst minimalist décor, where its organic shape and yellow tone become a focal point. It may be combined with clear or white glass pieces to emphasize its luminosity, or with a single sculptural branch to highlight the vase’s expressive
