About this vintage design furniture

A large solid vase comes from Huta Szkła Hortensja in Piotrków Trybunalski, it was made in the 1970s. The vase with the catalogue number H23-199 was popularly called "Karo", made of pressed glass cut into characteristic diamonds. We assess the condition of the item as good, it has slight signs of use - scratches on the bottom due to the movement of the vase. Dimensions: height 25 cm diameter 16 cm diameter of base 9,5 cm diameter of entrance 14 cm weight 2317 g Dimensions in inches : height 9.8 cm diameter 6.3 cm base diameter 3.7 cm inlet diameter 5.5 cm weight 2317 g After the First World War, "Hortensja" expanded - in 1921 it employed about 500 people. It produced elegant blown and pressed glass in fashionable art deco shapes. It received numerous international awards for its products. The difficult working conditions and low wages (the owners, who were sympathetic to the Nazis, invested most of their profits across the western border of Poland) led to numerous strikes, including in 1923, 1928, 1932, 1936. Just before the outbreak of the Second World War, the former owners of "Hortensja" "The Haeblers" left Piotrków. During the war, the factory was under German administration. In the People's Poland, the glass factory was nationalized and received the name Huta Szkła Gospodarczego "Hortensja". Almost all the old buildings were demolished or completely rebuilt. In the 1970s, "Hortensja" employed over 2,000 people. It exported its products to about 120 countries. Despite its transformation into a company with a single shareholder from the State Treasury in 1993, 'Hortensja' did not survive the political and economic changes and ceased its activities at the end of the 1990s.
