ABOUT PRODUCTID 13877
This glass vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in the 1970s for the Krakowski Instytut Szkła, exemplifies the artistry of Polish glassmaking during a period marked by bold experimentation with color and form, drawing influences from both mid-century modern aesthetics and classical functional art. The vase is crafted from hand-blown glass with a striking multicolor gradient—deep red at the top blending into vibrant orange and transitioning into a luminous yellow at the base. It features a slender, cylindrical body that flares gently into a ribbed, dark red pedestal. Two symmetrically placed handles made of semi-transparent orange glass accentuate the neck, referencing the twin-handled forms of classical amphorae while serving a decorative function. The glossy surface and subtle detailing highlight the craftsmanship and expressiveness unique to this era. The vase is offered in a worn but stable condition: an old, discreet repair is visible at the base, accompanied by minor signs of age consistent with vintage objects.This vase recalls the vibrant energy of Polish interiors in the 1970s, when colored glassware brought individuality and optimism to everyday spaces. Its form might speak of a past where the warmth of modernism met the nostalgia of ancient shapes, reinterpreted in new, luminous hues. The seamless transition between colors evokes the story of fire and light, while the glass’s reflective sheen draws in daylight, investing each setting with a spirit of expressive authenticity.The vase would suit placement in a living room as
