ABOUT PRODUCTID 13941
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz and crafted at the Kraków Glass Institute in the 1970s, represents mid-century Polish design where classical motifs harmonize with bold color and masterful glassmaking. Its principal visual feature is a deep, saturated red hue, enhanced by a glossy, high-shine surface that emphasizes the luminous translucency of the glass. The body is bulbous and rounded, tapering gently upward into a narrow neck that flares open at the rim, echoing the calm line of an amphora silhouette. Two symmetrical oval handles accent the shoulders, simultaneously referencing ancient vessel forms and adding a functional sculptural detail. The robust, pronounced base gives stability and carries the visual rhythm of the form through smooth transitions and precise handwork. The entire vase is made from smooth, polished glass, free from visible damage, texture, or chips—a testament to quality craftsmanship. Condition: very good, with no signs of repair, restoration, or flaws.This object seems to speak in the voice of its era: the Polish glass of the 1970s, marked by a search for expressive individuality without abandoning the legacy of tradition. The intensity of the red color calls to mind the charged atmospheres of cinema or avant-garde graphics, while the soft handles and flowing lines evoke an ongoing conversation with antiquity—reinterpreted through the language of mid-century
