ABOUT PRODUCTID 1326
This amphora-shaped vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in 1972, exemplifies Polish artistic glass in the mid-century modern spirit. Crafted from mass-colored glass, the form balances a wide, rounded base and a slender neck, measuring 27 cm in height and 13 cm in diameter. The surface is smooth and highly polished, with an opalescent sheen that highlights a warm ivory white base, subtly shifting into soft peach and powdery pink hues. The handle, made from transparent glass with a faint yellow tint, is elegantly curved and fixed with decorative knots, providing a sculptural accent characteristic of 1970s design. The vase remains in very good condition, free from visible traces of use, damage, or restoration.The form of this vase seems to echo the voice of Polish modernism in the 1970s, a period when artisanal precision met artistic liberty. The gentle color transitions and luminous texture recall a quest for light and color within everyday life in the Polish People's Republic. Its shape and finish evoke a sense of lightness, as if the glass seeks to capture the calm glow of morning—a quiet statement of individuality in the context of its era.The vase can be displayed as a solitary accent on a sideboard or console, where daylight will emphasize its subtle color gradations. It pairs well with mid-century furnishings, contemporary accessories, or pastel ceramics; a single branch or delicate flower will draw out its organic silhouette. Combining it with soft-textured textiles can further set off the opalescent sheen of the glass.No additional technical recommendations from the manufacturer. The vase requires no special care beyond regular, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth to maintain its gloss and clarity.
