This large carafe, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in Poland during the 1980s, is a refined example of late modernist tableware from the era. Crafted by hand from a combination of clear and opaline white glass, the form is characterized by a bulbous, smooth body, a slender, ribbed neck, and a substantial spherical stopper in opaline glass. A spiraling band of milky white glass encircles the vessel, lending a sense of dynamic, organic movement. The glass surface is highly polished, with subtle color transitions enhancing its depth. The proportions—wide base and elongated neck—create both stability and visual lightness. The carafe measures 31 cm in height and approximately 12 cm in diameter. Its condition is described as very good, with no damage or visible signs of use.This carafe carries echoes of 1980s Poland—a period where artisanal tradition intertwined with modernist vision, and utilitarian glassware became a canvas for subtle experimentation. The swirling white accent, reminiscent of vapor suspended over water, tells a story of movement and ephemerality, while the minimalist spherical stopper embodies the era’s pursuit of functionality without superfluous ornament. The glossy surfaces reflect light, transforming the vessel into both a functional item and a sculptural accent for tabletop or console.The carafe can serve as a focal point in contemporary table settings—perfect for serving water or homemade lemonade at a summer gathering, or as a decorative object on a living room sideboard. It pairs well with matte ceramics or understated glassware, emphasizing its sheen and clarity. The piece is well suited to minimalist environments, modern classic interiors, and curated collections of vintage Polish glass.
