ABOUT PRODUCTID 13938
This glass vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakow Glass Institute in the 1970s, embodies the interplay between functionality and sculptural form. Crafted from translucent glass in a rich yellow tone, its surface is smooth and lustrous, amplifying both color and light. The broad, rounded bowl, reminiscent of a goblet, rises from a tall and slender neck adorned with two applied glass rings, characteristic decorative elements of mid-20th-century Polish glass art. A wide, rounded foot anchors the silhouette, contributing balance and visual weight. Decorative details are limited to the organic curves and rhythmic accents of the modernist idiom, with no visible signs of wear — an original piece in very good, well-preserved condition, underlining its collectable status.This object, radiant in yellow, evokes the spirit of Polish modernism in the 1970s—a period marked by artistic optimism and technical innovation in glassmaking. The dynamic lines, gleam, and lightness reflect a fascination with the expressive potential of glass, typical for Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz’s workshop. The elongated stem and decorative rings become graphic signatures of the era, while the vase itself seems to narrate a story of creative openness and transformation of the everyday object.Such a vase could stand alone as an accent piece on a walnut or oak sideboard, or be paired with 1970s ceramics and books on open shelving, highlighting both its translucent quality and historic lineage. For display, it may be contrasted with neutral backdrops to emphasize its luminosity, or enriched with a single bold stem or a branch. Especially suited to mid-century modern or eclectic vintage interiors, it may also serve as a sculptural anchor in a contemporary collection, inviting dialogue between form, light, and memory.
