ABOUT PRODUCTID 33617
This mug, crafted from soda-lime glass in Poland during the 1970s, exemplifies the distinctive Cepelia aesthetic of the era. The vessel stands out with its vivid, cool-toned turquoise blue hue and semi-transparent structure, enlivened by numerous tiny air bubbles suspended within the glass—details that confer a lively, artisanal character. The form is bulbous and rounded, featuring a sculptural handle shaped into a pronounced double spiral, seamlessly attached and made from the same blue glass. The surface is smooth to the touch yet visually animated by the interplay of light and bubbles. The expressive and unique silhouette reflects a vintage style with ethnic undertones, inspired by Polish folk art and playful mid-century modernism. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration—preserved in very good condition. The listed price applies to one piece.
The mug seems to narrate the tale of Polish modernism inflected with folk spirit: its spiral handle acts as a free-form, almost whimsical ornament, echoing the joyful creativity that permeated 1970s Poland. The intense blue glass draws the eye, while the scattered air bubbles record every gesture of the craftsman, highlighting authenticity and handcraft. Rather than being merely functional, the mug celebrates daily rituals—its form and color evoking summer afternoons and convivial gatherings, when utilitarian objects doubled as small works of art.
In an interior, the mug may be paired with other glass or ceramic vessels in contrasting saturated colors, creating a dynamic arrangement on a dining table or kitchen shelf. It works well in vintage, eclectic, or boho-inspired spaces where color and form take center stage. Consider combining it with wooden accents or textured textiles to emphasize its handcrafted origin and evoke the atmosphere of the 1970s.
