ABOUT PRODUCTID 20299
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in Kraków in 1972, is a representative example of Polish artistic glass from the 1970s. The model, marked I-7ZD/73, is crafted from colored glass in a vivid, saturated yellow with warm undertones. Its glossy, high-shine finish enhances the depth of color and reflects light with striking intensity. The vessel features a flared, trumpet-like mouth, a slender neck, and a sculpted stem composed of two rounded, bulbous elements flowing into a decorative, ribbed base. Subtle vertical grooves and soft, organic curves accentuate the piece’s lightness and decorative quality. Its proportions are balanced— the wide opening contrasts with the intricately formed, compact base. Measuring 21 cm in height and 11 cm in diameter, it is a moderately sized but visually impactful accent. The vase remains in very good condition, showing no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear.This object echoes the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish glassmaking embraced bold colors and sculptural forms. The intense yellow is reminiscent of a sunlit morning, while the glossy silhouette seems to invite light into its interior. Its organic lines and harmonious construction evoke a time when craft intersected with artistic imagination— the chalice-like form and dynamic stem suggest that even everyday objects could become small sculptures, embodying the optimism and creative energy of their era.The vase can be paired with a simple light wood sideboard to highlight its color, or placed against a white wall to become a vivid focal point. It works well in a mid-century modern living room, alongside geometric prints, period glassware, or ceramics with organic shapes. One might display a single contrasting flower in it, or leave it empty to fully appreciate its sculptural
