The vase designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakowski Instytut Szkła, produced in Poland in the 1970s, exemplifies the postmodernist current typical of its era. The form—crafted in a sought-after deep green hue—plays with light on its smooth surface, while its balanced, architectural silhouette forgoes unnecessary ornamentation. Its origin at the renowned Instytut Szkła highlights artisanal precision and a conscious choice of color and proportions. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible damage or discoloration.This object speaks in the language of the 1970s, when Polish design sought new means of expression by merging experimentation with refined craftsmanship. The saturated green seems to absorb surrounding light, evoking the spirit of a decade both avant-garde and rooted in everyday life. It is a vase that "remembers" an era when color served not just as decoration but as a manifesto of openness and bold conceptual thinking.The vase can be paired with a minimalist light wood or marble sideboard, allowing its color to become even more pronounced. It will find its place in vintage collector's interiors, alongside 1970s ceramics or glass objects in contrasting hues. It is worth combining with simple greenery—a single stem or leaf—to highlight its sculptural quality and geometric clarity. The piece fits equally well in modernist and eclectic settings.
