ABOUT PRODUCTID 1330
The vase designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for Huta Szkła Tarnowiec exemplifies Central European glass design from the 1980s, crafted from hand-formed soda glass tinted in an ivory white hue. Its surface is smooth and highly glossy, reflecting light to highlight the semi-translucent, milky character of the glass. The silhouette is defined by harmonious proportions: a bulbous body transitions into a gently tapered neck, flanked by two clear, curved glass handles. These colorless, transparent handles are precisely attached and offer a sculptural contrast to the cool, matte body, emphasizing the vessel’s balanced lines. The slightly raised base and the even glass thickness throughout further demonstrate the craftsmanship. Condition: very good, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This vase evokes the spirit of late modernism, where minimalist white and classical references converge. The handles recall the ancient amphora, while the dignified simplicity of the form reflects the 1980s quest for balance between function and sculptural expression. The luminous, polished glass surface mirrors an era when Polish design sought a modern identity, drawing inspiration from archetypal forms.The vase could be displayed on a low console table or as a centerpiece on a living room table, where natural light would accentuate the softness of the glass and the subtle contrast of the handles. It would suit bright, minimalist interiors, paired with simple geometric shapes in wood or stone. Combining it with other glass vessels in contrasting colors or with a single, boldly shaped branch would further enhance its architectural lines.
