ABOUT PRODUCTID 13942
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in the 1970s for the Krakow Glass Institute, is an example of Polish mid-century modern design. Made entirely of high-quality glass colored in a vibrant, warm orange, it features a striking combination of a spherical, massive body and a proportionally slender neck that flares at the mouth. The surface is finished to a glossy polish, reflecting light evenly to emphasize the saturation of color and the precision of craftsmanship. A decorative glass trail, applied in an undulating zigzag pattern, encircles the neck with a three-dimensional accent and tactile texture. The slightly raised, round base reinforces the vase’s overall symmetry. Preserved in excellent, authentic condition with no visible damage, repairs, or significant signs of wear.This piece embodies the spirited narrative of 1970s Poland: its saturated orange tone speaks of optimism and experimentation, while the smooth, gleaming surface captures the modern attitude of the mid-century era. The interplay of spherical base, slender neck, and flared mouth reflects both organic form and geometric discipline, as if the designer entered into a dialogue with the international design scene while maintaining a distinctly individual spirit. Light dances across the raised zigzag detail, creating a sense of motion that echoes the era’s fascination with formal innovation and the uniquely experimental atmosphere of Polish glass art in the 1970s.The vase can be displayed solo on a low sideboard or coffee table, allowing its vibrant color and gloss to take center stage alongside neutral fabrics and minimalist surfaces. It would pair well with other vintage mid-century objects—geometric ceramics, subdued palettes, or contrasting green foliage. The vivid hues and fluent silhouette also lend themselves to eclectic collections, infusing interiors with energy and a touch of artistic tension.
