ABOUT PRODUCTID 3297
This glass mug, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in Kraków in 1972, exemplifies the inventive spirit of Polish art glass from the 1970s. Crafted from colored glass, it features a striking gradient—from deep burgundy red at the rim to golden yellow at the base—creating a luminous ombré effect. The body is vertically ribbed, imparting a dynamic, tactile structure. Its base is sculpted with undulating, organic lines reminiscent of flower petals or flowing molten glass. The handle, made of translucent yellow glass, stands out with its whimsical protrusions and decorative glass applications at the attachment points. The overall design is expressive and eclectic, characteristic of the bold, experimental trends in Polish glassmaking of this era. The mug is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible damage or signs of wear; the glass surface remains smooth and lustrous. This object tells the visual story of the 1970s—a period when Polish designers like Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz sought bold new forms, experimenting with color and structure. The interplay of hues, the kinetic ribbing, and the organic details capture the era's spirit, when glassware transcended mere utility to become a statement of artistic intent. The handle, evocative of dragon scales or fantastical forms, reveals the imaginative freedom and courage that defined design in those years. The mug, like a relic from a time of vibrant creativity, brings a touch of that inventive ferment into any interior. It would serve as a compelling accent on a living room shelf among other collectible objects from the
