ABOUT PRODUCTID 12727
This glass vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz and produced by the Kraków Glass Institute in the 1970s, represents Polish modernism of that era. It is crafted from opaque, milky white glass with a subtle beige gradient at the base, creating a gentle ombre effect. The vase features a bulbous, rounded body, a short, wide neck that flares outward, and two symmetrical circular handles attached to the shoulders, emphasizing both decorative appeal and balanced proportions. The silhouette is marked by harmonious soft geometry, with a glossy, polished surface that gently reflects light and accentuates the clarity of the material. The glass is carefully finished, showing no visible chips or scratches, and displays minor natural variations and tiny inclusions that highlight its handcrafted origin. The piece remains in very good vintage condition, free from damage, and retains its authentic period character.The vase’s form quietly evokes the spirit of the 1970s—a decade when Polish design merged functionalism with a refined artistic gesture. The generous, rounded body and softly flared neck express a commitment to harmony and simplicity, while the handles function as sculptural elements. The subtle color transition from milky white to warm beige at the base suggests a narrative of transparency and stability, echoing a modernist desire for dialogue between art and everyday life. Each shimmer of light on the smooth surface witnesses to the quiet elegance of Polish glassmaking traditions.Placed alongside other 1960s and 1970s
