Mid-Century Polish Glass Zodiac Block – Capricorn

About the Item

This captivating Mid-Century glass object from Poland is a beautiful representation of 1950s design. Crafted from solid, cast colored glass, the piece is rectangular in shape and reminiscent of a glass brick. The front showcases an artistic relief of the zodiac sign Capricorn – featuring both the symbol and a stylized figure of the mythological sea-goat, a timeless emblem of this astrological sign. Its bold coloration and the expressive, sculptural quality of the design are typical of the era. When placed in natural light or in front of a window, the glass comes alive, glowing with warmth and brilliance. It’s an eye-catching piece that can serve not only as a decorative element but also as a unique architectural feature, such as a built-in glass block within a wall. This zodiac glass block makes a meaningful and personal gift – especially for someone born under the sign of Capricorn. It is in excellent condition with no visible chips or cracks. Due to its smooth base, it cannot stand freely and should be displayed leaning against a surface. A rare collectible and a wonderful example of postwar Polish glass artistry that reflects the charm and creativity of the 1950s.
