This pressed soda glass vase, manufactured by HSG Ząbkowice in Poland, is a testament to early 1970s design. Its slender, subtly conical form narrows smoothly towards the base, resulting in a harmonious, symmetrical silhouette characteristic of modernist projects of the time. The entire surface is adorned with a geometric relief—a rhythm of repeating oval and rectangular embossments creates a dynamic, three-dimensional texture, both decorative and tactile. The vivid, cool turquoise tint is uniform and transparent, with the vessel finished in a glossy sheen that enhances the clarity of light refracting across the pressed pattern. The vase is preserved in collectable condition, with no visible chips, scratches, or traces of use.This piece tells the story of Poland’s era of pressed glass innovation—when designers sought a novel visual language, experimenting with light, color, and the sensory qualities of household objects. The relief pattern echoes mid-century modern philosophy, in which ornament is used to structure and elevate the material, rather than dominate as overt decoration. There is an undercurrent of industrial boldness and the progressive optimism of the 1970s, most of all a mastery in extracting vibrancy from simple, mass-produced glass.In the living room, this vase sits comfortably against pale walls, where its turquoise hue resonates among other vintage glass pieces or as a stand-alone accent. It can be paired with ceramics in shades of olive or beige, creating a conversation between texture and light. It also functions as a soloist on a modern shelf or oak-veneered sideboard, where its structured form offers a subtle focal point. Whether placed in mid-century modern, eclectic collector’s interiors, or those inspired by Central European design, this artifact embodies its era with quiet assurance.
