The "Żyrafka" vase is an example of Polish art glass from the 1970s, designed by Kazimierz Krawczyk for Huta Sudety. Its thick-walled, mouth-blown construction features a prominent sculptural silhouette: a rounded, bulbous top flows into a slender neck, opening into a ribbed, undulating shaft with four pronounced recesses. This shape draws inspiration from organic forms—playfully referenced in its colloquial name "Żyrafka" (little giraffe). The color scheme transitions from a vivid, warm red toward a dark, nearly black navy blue at the base, creating a distinct ombré effect. The highly glossy, smooth finish accentuates both the depth of color and the quality of the glasswork, characteristic of Polish craftsmanship from this era. There are no additional hardware elements or decorative attachments, as the object’s strength lies in its pure silhouette and intense color. The condition is very good, with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs.This vase retells the story of the 1970s, when Polish art glass embraced bold coloration and forms that echoed nature and postmodernist experimentation. Its outline reminisces a search for playfulness and organic tension—almost as if it captured the visual rhythm of a giraffe’s neck in motion while
