ABOUT PRODUCTID 33823
The 'W oplocie' vase is a striking example of Polish design from the 1970s, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for the Ząbkowice Glassworks in Dąbrowa Górnicza. Its elongated, teardrop silhouette with a narrow neck and wide, rounded base is crafted from hand-formed soda-lime glass, colored in mass with a deep, saturated ruby red. The hallmark of this piece is the irregular, multi-layered overlay of light blue and pale yellow glass threads that wrap around the vase, creating a dynamic, tactile pattern with an organic, expressive edge. The base is ground flat, signaling careful finishing. The vase is preserved in very good condition, free from damage or signs of wear.This object embodies the spirit of Polish mid-century modern, a time when design sought balance between expression and utility. The vase might recall an era when experiments with color and texture became a means of individual expression—each strand of glass is like the craftsman’s gesture, recorded on the surface. The deep red and its encircling threads suggest movement and energy, yet remain harmoniously composed, as if the artistic freedom of the 1970s were captured within.The vase lends itself perfectly to the living room, where it can serve as a standalone accent on a sideboard or console. It may be paired with light wooden furniture and minimalist ceramics to emphasize its vibrant autonomy, or introduced as a dynamic counterpoint among geometric forms and soft textiles. It is worth combining with period objects or a neutral palette to draw out both its modernist pedigree and organic quality.Height: 39 cm, width: 14.5 cm. Material: soda-lime glass, colored in mass, hand-formed, decorated with glass threads. Base ground flat.
