About the Item
This striking Mid-Century glass object from Poland is a captivating example of 1950s design. Made from thick, cast colored glass, it resembles a glass brick in its rectangular form. The front face features a beautifully detailed representation of the zodiac sign Aquarius, including its symbolic glyph and a stylized figure holding a water jug – a classic motif associated with this astrological sign.
What makes this piece particularly special is its vibrant color and the sculptural way in which the design catches and plays with the light. When positioned in front of a window or any light source, it glows with a warm radiance, creating a powerful visual effect. It could even be integrated architecturally into a wall or partition, functioning like an artistic glass block.
This object is not only a unique piece of vintage décor but also makes for a thoughtful gift – especially for those born under the Aquarius sign. Despite its solid and heavy nature, the glass block doesn’t stand freely and should be leaned against a surface for display. Its overall condition is excellent, with no visible chips or cracks. A rare and decorative collector’s item from postwar Poland that truly captures the spirit of its era.
