ABOUT PRODUCTID 1329
This glass candlestick, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Tarnowiec Glassworks in the 1980s, exemplifies mature Polish modernism with a clear nod to Scandinavian functionalist traditions. The design is defined by harmonious proportions: a cylindrical stem, a wide flat plate for the candle, and a rounded base form a coherent, geometric whole. The handle, crafted from transparent glass and visibly attached by hand, highlights the artisanal nature of the piece. The entire candlestick is rendered in milky white, semi-translucent soda glass, subtly contrasting with the clear glass loop of the handle. The surface is smooth and glossy, free from chips or any signs of wear. Condition: very good, with no evidence of heavy use or restoration.The candlestick’s form reflects the restraint of 1980s Polish design, an era when even everyday objects embraced clarity of line and refined detailing. The milky white body seems to diffuse light like a gentle mist, while the transparent handle hints at the glassmaker’s and designer’s hands, finding fullness of expression in simplicity. This object quietly evokes the domestic warmth of late 20th-century interiors—a subtle testament to artisanal discipline and functional purity.The candlestick can be paired with minimalist ceramics or other simple glass vessels to create an intimate, orderly arrangement in the living room. It especially harmonizes with light woods, natural linen, and matte surfaces typical of modernist or Scandinavian-inspired interiors. In a collector’s setting, it may be combined with other Polish glassware from the 1970s and 1980s to highlight the dialogue between light
