ABOUT PRODUCTID 14067
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakow Glass Institute in the 1970s, exemplifies the artistic glassmaking of the era. The cylindrical shape is crafted from thick glass in a vibrant, semi-transparent orange with a high-gloss finish, creating remarkable visual depth and luminosity. Bold, applied glass loops and scrolls run vertically along the sides, seamlessly fused into the smooth surface—a testament to skilled handcraft and studio artistry. The finish is highly polished with minor air bubbles characteristic of unique, handmade glass from the period. The slightly widened base enhances stability. The vase is preserved in very good condition with no visible signs of damage or restoration; the surface remains unblemished.The form of this vase captures the spirit of 1970s creative experimentation and bold visual gestures. Its color evokes the glowing light of Central European interiors from the era, while the geometric applications reinterpret Art Nouveau motifs through the lens of postmodern expressiveness. As light passes through the glass body, the object becomes dynamic and radiant, with decorative loops recalling frozen moments of the glassmaker's craft. This piece tells the story of a decade when functional design embraced sculptural ambition, blurring the lines between utility and aesthetic experiment.This vase can be paired with other glass or ceramic objects to form a composition atop a contemporary sideboard or a minimalist console—especially effective in settings with neutral materials such as raw wood or concrete. It brings a distinct burst of color to mid-century modern, postmodern, or eclectically curated interiors. Positioning it where natural light accentuates the vibrancy of the glass allows one to appreciate not only its color depth but also the tactile artistry of its handmade details.
