Produced in pressed soda-lime glass, the vase features a strong geometric form characteristic of Drost’s modernist design language. The subtle olive green coloration adds warmth and depth, highlighting the sculptural contours while softening the optical rhythm of the relief.

This piece reflects the innovative approach of Polish glass design in the post-war period, where industrial production was combined with bold formal experimentation. The restrained color palette and architectural structure make this vase a versatile example of mid-century modern European glass. Pressed rather than blown — the Ząbkowice plant's industrial method, and the reason these forms hold a crisp geometry that hand-blown glass of the period cannot.
