ABOUT PRODUCTID 13979
This glass vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakow Glass Institute in the 1970s, exemplifies Polish mid-century modern with its bold form and color composition. The vase features a color gradient—deep amber-red at the base shifts through brownish-orange tones and gradually lightens closer to the elongated neck, which gently expands at the opening. Its most distinctive elements are the two thick, round handles in vivid, translucent yellow glass, attached with visible traces of the traditional hand-blown technique. The lustrous, glossy finish enhances the richness of the colors, while a slightly darker, clear rim defines the mouth of the vase. Proportions are harmonious, with a broad, rounded base flowing smoothly into the neck. Condition: very good, with no visible scratches, chips, or cracks and only minimal signs of previous use.The vase’s shape and palette reflect the optimism and spirited aesthetic of the 1970s, an era when color became a leading protagonist in interior design. This piece seems to evoke a time when utility was reimagined by craftsmen willing to experiment with boldness and transparency. The hand-crafted handles, dramatic color transitions, and play of light embody the Krakow school’s pursuit of both technical mastery and artistic flair—transforming everyday glass into a sculptural narrative of its time.In a living room, the vase could be displayed on a low wood or marble console, where natural light would reveal its dynamic hues. It pairs well with minimalist ceramics or the raw lines of contemporary sculpture, serving as a focal point within mid-century modern or vintage eclectic arrangements. Combining it with textiles in neutral shades and differently toned glassware
