The "Panna Młoda" ("Bride") vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in the 1970s for the Krakow Glass Institute, is a notable example of Polish mid-century glassmaking. Crafted using traditional blown-glass techniques, the vase is made of translucent, vibrant yellow glass. The surface is glossy and smooth, emphasizing the saturated hue and the play of reflected light. The lower part features a bulbous, rounded shape, seamlessly transitioning into a slender, cylindrical neck. The neck is adorned with two vertical rows of handcrafted, leaf-shaped yellow glass appliqués, each embossed with a decorative pattern, adding dimensionality and tactile interest to the design. The rim is distinctly thickened and flared, lending the silhouette an expressive dynamism that is typical of Eastern European 1970s modernism. All details reveal slight, natural variations and air bubbles—signatures of artisanal glasswork. The overall condition is very good, with only one applied glass leaf missing; the vase is free of major scratches or cracks, and the color remains vivid.This vase embodies the creative spirit of the 1970s, when Polish design explored individuality through organic forms and bold, optimistic color. Its yellow hue echoes the era’s aesthetic optimism, while the hand-applied decorations evoke a sense of studio craftsmanship—as if the glass still retains the memory of the artisan’s touch. Each applied leaf suggests the uniqueness of the making process, celebrating the small idiosyncrasies that make every piece a singular work. The cur
