ABOUT PRODUCTID 20305
This amphora, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakow Glass Institute in 1972, is an example of Polish colored glass from the late modernist era. Measuring 37 cm in height, it is crafted from vibrant, translucent yellow glass with a glossy surface that reflects light, enhancing the saturation of its hue. The bulbous body, slender neck, and gently flared spout evoke classical antiquity, reinterpreted through the lens of the 1970s. The tall, hand-applied handle with a decorative glass application, paired with a ribbed base and wide, stable foot featuring subtle orange undertones, complete the piece. Attention to detail is evident in the handmade handle and decorative ring. The glass shows no damage, chips, cracks, or signs of restoration or significant wear. The overall condition is very good, with the original luster and clarity intact.The form of this amphora captures the spirit of 1970s Polish design, drawing inspiration from ancient vessels while interpreting them with a colorful, optimistic sense of modernity. Its vibrant yellow hue and softly illuminated surface recall an era when glassware served not only utilitarian purposes but also helped create a particular mood. The high-set handle with its decorative detail invites touch, embodying a dialogue between historical roots and the experimental gesture of the maker. This vessel speaks with the voice of an age open to the interplay between tradition and innovation.The amphora can be displayed on a sideboard or shelf in the living room, where natural light will highlight its translucency and color depth. It may be combined
