ABOUT PRODUCTID 18762
This pressed glass water jug, produced by Huta Barbara in Poland during the 1970s, exemplifies classic vintage style with clear mid-century modern influences. Its construction centers on a full, rounded body with a short neck and a broad, slightly flared pouring lip for functional ease. The transparent, highly saturated amber-orange glass forms a warm foundation, contrasted by dramatic, almost black-brown spirals molded into the vessel’s surface. These dynamic stripes impart a subtle, tactile ribbing. A generously proportioned, rounded handle is smoothly integrated into the form, while the glossy finish reflects light and intensifies the color’s richness. The jug is preserved in very good condition—free of visible damage, chips, or repair. The glass remains clear, unclouded and original, showing no traces of restoration.The jug’s contours express the spirit of the transitional 1970s: a period of modernist optimism and fascination with vivid color and energetic patterns. The swirling bands encircling the body evoke a sense of movement and rhythmic exuberance, emblematic of Eastern European glassware from this era. The warmth of amber paired with the dynamic striping transforms the piece from a simple utility object into an artifact of the age, radiating both creative confidence and a sense of tactile craftsmanship. Its smooth gloss and gently raised decoration invite touch and appreciation for the artisanal process behind pressed glass.The jug would complement interiors shaped by mid-century modern inspirations as well as curated, collector’s spaces with eclectic
