This vase by Michał Jakubas, created in 1972 at the Institute of Glass Workshop in Kraków, exemplifies the artistic spirit of Polish glassmaking in the 1970s. Made of colored glass, standing 34 cm tall with a diameter of 11.6 cm, it features deep violet and burgundy hues, with subtle tonal transitions and smoky, almost iridescent effects. The glossy, mirror-like finish enhances the richness of the colors, while the proportions—an elongated cylindrical neck, a flared trumpet mouth, and a pronounced spherical base—reflect a distinctly mid-century modern sensibility. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of use, damage, or restoration.This object echoes the voice of Polish avant-garde from the 1970s, when studio glass became a field for formal and chromatic experimentation. The vase seems to recount an era when saturated color and sculptural purity represented modernity. Its smooth surface reflects light like a tranquil water surface, and the harmonious silhouette reveals the search for balance between craftsmanship and artistic vision. In this piece, one senses the creative freedom that Polish glass designers embraced during the postwar modernization period.The Jakubas vase may be displayed as a solo accent on an oak console or a marble tabletop, where the depth of violet and burgundy gains intensity against neutral, matte backgrounds. It works well in mid-century modern interiors but also fits minimalist spaces, where a single artistic piece establishes the tone of the room. It can be paired with geometric ceramics, simple graphic prints, or a single branch to emphasize its sculptural presence.
