ABOUT PRODUCTID 19392
The ‘Wulkany’ vase from HSG Ząbkowice represents the Polish interpretation of brutalist glass design from the 1970s. Crafted in pressed glass with a medium olive green hue that deepens subtly towards the base, its cylindrical silhouette narrows gently at the bottom, lending the object a grounded, architectural presence. The surface of the vase is entirely covered with a rhythmic geometric relief of raised ovals and rectangles, reminiscent of solidified lava or volcanic craters. A semi-matte, satin finish diffuses light and accentuates the tactile, visual rhythm of the unique pattern. The rim is smooth and slightly thickened, contributing to a sense of structural solidity. The vase is in very good vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear; all elements are original and authentic, with no evidence of restoration.This vase can be read as a statement of Polish mid-1970s modernism, where utilitarian logic met a bold exploration of form. The geometric surface rhythm evokes echoes of industrial landscapes, while the satin olive tone interacts with shifting light in ways particular to the decade. It is as if the object quietly recalls the strength of raw earth and the modern artistic drive to let material and pattern speak more loudly than conventional ornament.The vase can serve as a strong focal point on a sideboard or bookshelf within a vintage, modernist, or brutalist interior. It can be paired with raw wood, steel, or ceramics; its geometric relief offers striking contrast to smooth surfaces—concrete, minimalist glass, or timber. It harmonises with a single dark green leaf, low planters, or a curated mid-century collection, fitting seamlessly into mid-century modern or eclectic collector arrangements where light and natural materiality are valued.No technical
