Art Deco vase, pressed uranium glass, Huta Zawiercie, Poland, 1930s

A unique uranium glass vase from Huta Zawiercie, featuring a strongly geometric form characteristic of the Art Deco style from the first half of the 20th century. Made of highly transparent glass in an intense light green shade typical of uranium glass, which fluoresces under UV light. The surface is decorated with vertical, subtly rounded grooves running from the wide, ribbed edge to the more closed, narrowing body. The octagonal base provides stability and visual distinctiveness. The vase has no additional painted decorations, and the finish is smooth and highly glossy. Classified as vintage, its condition is described as very good: no chips, cracks, or signs of repair. This vase evokes the spirit of the interwar period, where modernity met a desire for subtle decorativeness. Its form, based on regular divisions and a clear silhouette, reflects the fascination with geometric order typical of Art Deco. The light green glass, delicate in form yet bold in colour, could tell stories of home interiors—once lit by the setting sun, now by UV light that reveals the hidden luminosity of this material. The vase exudes the confidence of the 1930s but retains its functional character: its transparency and glossy finish attract attention and invite everyday use. It can be paired with cut flowers of contrasting colours, such as amaranth tulips or deep violet irises, to highlight the freshness of uranium glass and the subtlety of Art Deco. It works well on a walnut or light oak console, as well as among other glass accessories from the same era—simple, geometric forms that do not distract from its colour. Modernist and eclectic interiors will create a harmonious background for the expressive colour and shiny texture of pressed glass, giving this item an understated accent in a collector's arrangement.
