ABOUT PRODUCTID 20371
The 'kufel' (mug) vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in Kraków in 1972, is a distinctive example of Polish artistic glass from the early 1970s. Crafted from thick, colored glass, it features a striking gradient—transitioning from a vibrant, saturated yellow at the center to a cooler, greenish hue at the base and rim. The cylindrical form with a gently flared lip is complemented by a sculptural handle with an organic, wavy line, integrated as part of the composition. The smooth, highly polished surface reflects light, emphasizing both the depth of color and the small air bubbles typical of hand-blown glass. Proportions (height 19.6 cm, diameter 11 cm, length 15 cm) and finishing details reference the mid-century modern aesthetic, where clean lines merge with functional elegance. The vase is in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of wear.This object speaks with the voice of the early 1970s, when Polish art glass was exploring new forms of expression: color merges with form, while light plays across the surface, creating an aura of experimentation and optimism. The organic handle evokes waves or flowing water, as if the vase itself sought to tell a story about fluidity and transformation. The intensity of yellow and the coolness of green reflect the era's creative quest—a balance between energy and calm, sensuality and disciplined line.The vase can serve as a standalone accent on a console, sideboard, or table in the living room, where its colors and gloss will attract attention even without flowers. It would pair well with light-toned wood, neutral ceramics, or minimalist graphics. One could combine it with
