ABOUT PRODUCTID 13834
Designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Kraków Glass Institute in the 1970s, this vase embodies the era-defining qualities of Polish studio glass. The body features a rounded, bulbous form that transitions seamlessly into an organically sculpted base, distinguished by molten, folded protrusions reminiscent of fluid glass frozen in motion. The color palette presents a smooth gradient—from deep wine red at the top, through intense fiery oranges, to a light, almost amber tone at the foot. The semi-transparent glass is finished with a glossy, highly polished surface, intensifying both brightness and chromatic depth as light filters through the structure. The overall design aligns with mid-century modernism, indelibly marked by the expressive, artistic refinement of Słuczan-Orkusz’s signature style. The vase is preserved in very good original condition: its surface appears smooth and unmarred, free from chips or scratches and without any visible restoration — the base offers both decorative visual interest and reliable stability thanks to its hand-formed folds.The sculptural silhouette and vibrant hues of this piece breathe with the energy of 1970s Poland. Hand-crafted artistry is imprinted in every orange and ruby transition, as if the glass remains animated, arresting the movement of molten color just as it cooled. The object carries with it the spirit of experimentation and creative freedom, emblematic of a period when glass workshops served as hotbeds for artistic innovation. The vase, as though speaking from its own era, narrates a story of craft and bold color exploration—each gradient echoing the unique touch of studio work and a cultural moment
