This vase, designed by Zofia Pasek in 1972 at the Glass Institute in Kraków, is a testament to Polish design of the 1970s, blending modernist sensibility with distinct references to organic, Art Nouveau-inspired forms. Crafted from colored glass in a warm, saturated yellow hue, the vase exudes a vivid, sunlit character. Measuring 23.5 cm in height and 11 cm in diameter, its silhouette is defined by a bulbous base that seamlessly transitions into a slender, elongated neck. Two hand-formed handles with curled ends, made from the same yellow glass, are symmetrically attached to the neck and shoulder, lending a sculptural softness to the form. The glossy, smooth glass surface enhances both transparency and chromatic depth, with no visible signs of wear or damage. The vase is preserved in very good condition, free from chips, cracks, or restoration marks.The piece embodies the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish art glass sought its own identity amid postwar modernism and a renewed fascination with nature and fluid lines. Its form speaks with the freedom of the era – the handles, like a frozen gesture in glass, recall the experimental ethos of the Kraków Glass Institute and the optimism of a time when color and detail provided a counterpoint to everyday monotony. The saturated yellow seems to capture every ray of light, while the hand-formed details reveal the maker’s touch in every curve and swirl.This vase could be paired with a low teak console or a minimalist 1970s side table to highlight its modernist provenance. It works well as a standalone accent against a white wall, allowing
