ABOUT PRODUCTID 1328
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for Huta Szkła Tarnowiec in the 1980s, represents the character of Polish glassmaking of that era. Handcrafted from soda glass, it features a bulbous, rounded body joined to a short, cylindrical neck with a subtly flared rim. The dominant milky white, high-gloss finish contrasts with two circular, transparent handles attached to the neck. The surface is smooth and reflective, with the slightly raised base in a uniform color. The proportions are compact and harmonious, evoking mid-century modern aesthetics that emphasize simplicity and clarity of form. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no visible chips, marks, or signs of use; all elements remain original.The shape of this vase echoes the spirit of the 1980s, when Polish utilitarian glassware evolved towards restrained, functional design. The milky white surface diffuses light like morning fog, while the transparent handles—almost floating in the air—bring a sense of lightness and discreet ornamentation. It is an object that seems to tell of a time when decoration was subtle, and the balance between function and form was delicately maintained; when everyday items were meant to blend quietly into their surroundings without overwhelming them.The vase could be paired with other mid-century modern vintage objects or introduced into a contemporary, minimalist interior, where it will serve as a gentle accent on a sideboard or shelf. It works well alongside light wood, matte ceramics, or neutral textiles. It is worth combining it with a single, sculptural branch
