ABOUT PRODUCTID 13940
Designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz and crafted at the Kraków Glass Institute in the 1970s, this vase is a distinctive example of Polish decorative glassware in the mid-century modern idiom. It was hand-blown from highly saturated, transparent glass showcasing a vivid color gradient—deep burgundy at the upper body, flowing into warm red and orange, culminating in an amber-yellow tone at the base. The vase presents a bulbous, rounded upper section, narrowing into an elegant neck and widening into a flared pedestal base. Its surface is perfectly smooth and lustrous, devoid of external ornamentation—attention is drawn to the vibrant gradient and the sculptural silhouette. A visible joining line and areas of adhesive at the transition between the bowl and the base speak to its studio origins. Minor scratches and subtle marks of use are present in keeping with its 'worn' vintage condition.This object resonates with the spirit of 1970s Poland—bold, saturated color and luminous glass capturing a time of modernist aesthetic pursuits. The fiery gradient and clarity of the glass tell a story of expressive craftsmanship, evoking a sense of experimentation and creative energy at the Kraków Glass Institute. Each glimmer on the lustrous surface echoes the artisanal skill of its era, as if the vase preserves fragments of fleeting yet vibrant light.The vase can be displayed as a standalone accent on a walnut or oak sideboard, serving as a color-rich counterpoint to pale walls and natural textiles. It lends itself well to modernist or eclectic interiors and can be paired with geometric ceramic pieces, minimalist prints, or a contemporaneous metal lamp. Placing it near a window will amplify the depth of its colors in natural light, while even a single branch
