Late 20th century clear hand-blown glass Modern abstract sculpture with trapped bubbles, Poland By: unknown Material: glass, crystal Technique: cast, molded, polished Dimensions: 6.75 in x 5.5 in x 12 in Date: mid-20th century, circa 1940 Style: Modern, Space Age Place of origin: Poland Rising with a quiet sense of balance, this clear hand-blown glass sculpture presents an abstract vertical composition shaped by soft curves and subtle asymmetries. The form narrows and expands in a fluid rhythm, suggesting an organic presence rather than a fixed geometry. Encased within the glass, controlled air bubbles appear suspended at varying depths, their rounded contours creating points of visual tension and light refraction throughout the body. The surface is carefully polished, allowing the transparency of the material to emphasize depth, weight, and internal structure. Reflections shift across the sculpture as light passes through, activating the interior volumes and reinforcing its sculptural presence. The overall effect is restrained yet expressive, aligning modern abstraction with a distinctly futuristic sensibility.
