The 'Volcano' vase is an example of Polish pressed glass from the 1970s, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for the Ząbkowice Glassworks, part of the Inwald Glassworks in Dąbrowa Górnicza.

The cylindrical form, slightly tapering toward the bottom with a flat base, is adorned with a distinctive geometric relief of raised, rounded squares arranged in a regular grid. The three-dimensional texture and glossy finish highlight the precision of pressed glass techniques characteristic of late 20th-century Polish modernism. The vase is very well preserved, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of restoration, and its surface remains pristine.This vase seems to encapsulate the energy of the 1970s, a time when Polish modernism was seeking new means of expression in everyday objects.

It can be paired with other pressed glass or colorful vessels from the era, as well as with simple wooden furniture and textiles with pronounced weaves. In a contemporary living room, it works both as a
