ABOUT PRODUCTID 19483
Designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Kraków Glass Institute in Poland during the 1970s, this vase exemplifies the postmodern approach to decorative form. Crafted from glass in an intense, deep green hue, the vase has a smooth, glossy surface and a harmoniously proportioned, slender body. Its widely flared, rounded lip completes the profile, while two vertical bands adorned with evenly spaced, raised 'studs' introduce an architectural rhythm and reinforce a sense of geometric discipline. The monochrome colour and clarity of material highlight subtle plays of light across the glass, making the vase a focal decorative point. The piece reveals meticulous craftsmanship, visible in the precision of its moulded elements; the vase is preserved in excellent vintage condition with no visible damage, discolouration, or repairs.This object speaks with the voice of the 1970s, when Polish design fused the boldness of experimentation with a reverence for craft. The deep green of the glass absorbs light like the surface of still water, evoking the era's atmosphere in which colour became a statement of new perspectives in everyday aesthetics. It is a vessel that 'remembers' the times of creative freedom and ambitious formal exploration, embodying the spirit of inventive material use.The vase may be paired with a pale wood or marble sideboard, where its green tone can make the strongest impression. It will work well in vintage-inspired interiors, alongside ceramics or glassware in contrasting shades. Combining it with a single branch, a leaf, or a minimalist floral arrangement will highlight its sculptural qualities. The piece performs equally well in modernist settings or in collector’s spaces with an eclectic character.
