The 'Smok' vase, designed by Józef Górski for Huta Szkła Gospodarczego in Tarnów at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, is a quintessential example of Polish modernist art glass—merging bold form with masterful glassmaking techniques. Its flattened, organic body features a central through-hole and a distinctive openwork 'comb' with regularly spaced circular perforations, evoking the mythical dragon’s spine. The clear glass base is dynamically intersected by deep, cobalt-blue streaks that swirl within the mass, creating an expressive, painterly rhythm. The glossy surface, with air bubbles (the result of the 'foamed glass' technique), and seamless construction highlight the unique character of hand-crafted execution. The vase is harmoniously proportioned: height 23.5 cm, length 16.5 cm, width 7.5 cm. It is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of restoration.In this object, glass expresses the spirit of an era when modernist explorations met the courage of experimentation. Górski’s 'Smok' seems to capture
