ABOUT PRODUCTID 24276
This Krakow goblet from the 1970s, attributed to Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz and created at the Glass Institute, exemplifies the 'crumpled glass' technique characteristic of the period. The piece is made entirely of glass in a vivid, saturated red-orange hue, with a translucent structure that allows light to pass through, imparting a glowing effect. The glossy surface enhances the depth of color and reveals subtle undulations and air bubbles typical of hand-blown glass. Its form reflects mid-century modern aesthetics—a cylindrical bowl set on a wide, flared stem, adorned with two hand-applied decorative glass loops. The overall condition is very good, with no chips or cracks and only minimal signs of age.This goblet tells the story of 1970s Polish art glass, when vibrant color and artisanal precision intertwined. Light streaming through the translucent red conjures the modernist fascination with luminosity and color, while the handcrafted loops at the stem act as the artist's signature—a gesture of individuality. Although functional, the goblet stands as a testament to creative experimentation, bearing witness to an era when form and utility were intertwined.In an interior setting, the Krakow goblet can be displayed solo on a console, low shelf, or as a sculptural centerpiece on a table. It pairs well with minimalist décor—matte ceramics, simple metal objects, or clear glass forms. Mid-century modern spaces, eclectic collector's interiors, or settings inspired by Polish design of the 1960s and 1970s will highlight its unique presence; it could be complemented by a milk-glass lamp or a period graphic poster to accentuate both its provenance and vibrant glass color.
