ABOUT PRODUCTID 13804
The vase designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Kraków Glass Institute in the 1970s encapsulates the decade's fondness for dynamic form and bold color transitions. Crafted from thick, high-quality glass, the body features a smooth gradient that shifts from deep ruby red at the neck to a rich amber-orange at the base. The surface is adorned with pronounced vertical ribs, creating a three-dimensional texture and emphasizing the play of light across the lustrous finish. The overall silhouette is bulbous, with a distinctive, short neck and a wide flared mouth, echoing organic, almost floral influences characteristic of the era. The proportions are carefully balanced, and the crisp definition of color zones and contours reflects skilled craftsmanship in both the blowing and finishing stages. There are no visible signs of chips, cracks, or restoration—the piece remains in very good condition.This vibrant vase speaks with the expressive voice of the 1970s, when color and sculptural glasswork became emblematic of creative freedom. Its chromatic gradient is like a visual echo of the decade's optimism and search for new artistic forms—a silent witness to the evolution of Polish decorative art. The tactile ribs channel light in shifting patterns, reminiscent of sunlight rippling on water, while the organic shape invites a lingering gaze. The vase quietly narrates the story of Kraków's creative glass scene: a tribute to bold color harmonies and sculptural simplicity.The vase may be placed atop a natural wood console or a minimalist shelf, where it will serve as a sculptural focal point. It can be paired with sober ceramics or a single, broad-leaved branch for contrast. Suitable for mid-century modern interiors or eclectic collectors' spaces, its multicolored glass adapts beautifully to changing
