ABOUT PRODUCTID 12597
This glass pitcher, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakow Glass Institute in 1970s Poland, features pastel-turquoise transparent glass in a refined, balanced silhouette. Its form is characterized by a bulbous base tapering to a narrow neck, flaring out at the mouth, with a handle in matching glass that gently curves in an organic, fluid line. The visible joint between the handle and body highlights the artisanal, hand-crafted nature typical for contemporary Polish glass studios. The lack of surface decoration or color accents reflects the minimalist spirit of 1970s Central European functionalism. The object remains in good condition, with a minor chip (“łuska”) visible at the base of the handle, a subtle imperfection that does not affect structural integrity.The pitcher voices the refined optimism of its era—a time when modernism embraced simplicity and the authenticity of handwork. Its soft hue evokes the calm of a summer morning by the Vistula, while the curved lines evoke an ease of experimentation and organic freedom. The interplay of restraint and delicate detail resonates with the narrative of the 1970s: an age open to new materials but rooted in respect for craft. Gentle traces of use underscore its vintage narrative rather than obscure it.This piece may serve as a compelling accent in a living room with a mid-century modern or light, art-collecting minimalist aesthetic. It can be paired with natural wood, matte ceramics, or cool-toned metal, and may be displayed solo on a console table or amid other vintage glassware to highlight the interplay of textures and hues. It works both as a vessel for a single branch and as a discreet art object beside graphic art or period textiles.
