This handled vase, designed by Kazimierz Krawczyk in the 1970s and produced by Huta Szkła 'Sudety', exemplifies Polish artistic glass in the mid-century modern style. The form features a wide, funnel-shaped rim, a pronounced bulbous midsection, and a cylindrical, stable base, all accented by a single, asymmetrically placed round handle. The soda glass is colored in the mass, presenting a smooth gradient from a saturated, semi-transparent orange at the rim to a deep, almost opaque red at the base. The surface is perfectly smooth and highly glossy, with a carefully ground flat underside. The absence of visible seams and the substantial wall thickness indicate high manufacturing quality. The vase stands 22 cm tall and is 13 cm in diameter. It is preserved in very good condition, with no signs of use or damage.The vase’s form tells the story of Polish modernist design in the 1970s, a period when glassmaking ventured boldly into experiments with geometry and color. The color transition evokes the image of a sunset, while the single handle hints at playfulness and creative freedom typical of the era’s artistic ferment. The glossy finish reflects light, emphasizing both the sculptural silhouette and the optimistic spirit of a time when craftsmanship eagerly engaged with modernity.The vase can be paired with a minimalist wooden tabletop or displayed on a sideboard among other mid-century modern glass pieces to highlight its geometric lines. It works well as a color accent in the living room—whether standing alone or alongside ceramics in muted tones or plants with simple, graphic leaves. It is worth combining with natural fabric textures such as linen or wool to enhance the contrast between the lustrous glass and matte surroundings.
