Retro vase, rose glass, Ząbkowice, Poland, 1970s

A rose glass vase from the Ząbkowice glassworks is an example of the craftsmanship of Polish pressed glass from the 1970s. The goblet-shaped form subtly widens towards the top, smoothly transitioning into a wide, round base for stability. The entire piece is made of warm pink glass with a slightly transparent hue, characteristic of rose glassware from this era. The surface of the vase is covered with a precisely embossed floral and leafy ornament, distributed on both the bowl and the foot, emphasizing the artisanal origin of the object. The glass shines on both textured and smooth parts, enhancing the colour and clarity of the reliefs. The form corresponds to the typical retro glass style of Eastern Europe from those decades – combining practical use with decorative detail. The piece is in very good condition; it shows no signs of significant wear or damage, retaining its original shine and all original details.
