Description
Elegant Krosno Poland clear glass bud vase featuring a sleek tapered silhouette and a heavy, weighted base for stability. This hand-blown quality piece stands approximately 6-8 inches tall (estimated from shelf scale) and is perfect for a single stem or small bouquet. Retains the original 'Krosno Made in Poland' foil label.
Key Features
Hand-blown in Poland; renowned brand for quality glassware; minimalist MCM-adjacent aesthetic; weighted base prevents tipping.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The original silver foil label is present on the bottom, clearly stating 'KROSNO' and 'PRODUIT DE POLOGNE / MADE IN POLAND'.
Flaws to Note
No chips or cracks visible. Some adhesive residue from the thrift store price tag ($4.49) will need careful removal to avoid damaging the silver Krosno label.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy. These platforms have a higher volume of glass collectors looking for specific European brands. Facebook Marketplace is less ideal due to the low price point unless bundled.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Polish Art Glass', 'Minimalist', and 'Weighted Base'. Clean with a vinegar/water solution to maximize shine. Photograph against a dark, solid background to show the clarity of the glass and the thickness of the base.
