A vintage mid-century modern art glass tapered cylinder vase by Krosno, Poland. Crafted in a vibrant, rich amethyst purple colorway, this striking piece features a substantial, heavy clear glass base embedded with a signature controlled single teardrop bubble inclusion.

The vase showcases classic Polish mid-century design principles: clean vertical lines, an elegant subtle taper, and an exceptional balance of weight and clarity. The thick, solid base gives it substantial presence on display while stabilizing taller floral stems. Unsigned as is standard for the paper-labeled export wares produced by Krosno during the 1960s and 1970s, the precise execution of the interior bubble and the uniform depth of the amethyst tint serve as definitive hallmarks of the factory’s high-quality studio production.

CONDITION REPORT

Direct physical assessment based on photographic evidence: The structural integrity of the glass is excellent throughout. The flat, polished rim is entirely free of chips, fleabites, or grazing. The interior walls are completely clean, showing no cloudiness, water bloom, or limescale tracking. The thick clear base is free from internal structural cracks or stress fractures. Faint, negligible surface shelf friction is confined purely to the underside of the resting base as expected with authentic vintage hand-formed glass wares.
