ABOUT PRODUCTID 13921
This glass vase from the 1970s, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz and produced at the Kraków Glass Institute, displays the silhouette of an elongated chalice resting on a wide, flat foot. The slender pedestal is marked by a distinctive spherical node, while the body’s proportions are well-balanced—gently rounded walls expand subtly upwards, imparting both dynamism and harmony to the overall figure. The glass features an intense, uniform red color—free of gradation or decorative patterns—that draws attention to the purity of form and the almost mirror-like gloss of its surface. The design is rooted in mid-century modern ideals, celebrating organic curves and structural simplicity while allowing the interplay of color, light, and proportion to take center stage. The glass is perfectly smooth, with no visible scratches, chips, or discoloration; its state of preservation is described as very good, with no evidence of restoration or replacement, all details remaining faithful to the original spirit of the 1970s.This vase seems to echo the spirit of the 1970s—an era when Polish art glass commanded international attention thanks to bold experiments in shape and color. The deep red hue, theatrically reflecting the light, channels the energy of modernist optimism, the refined transformations of traditional vessels, and the creative freedom enjoyed by designers such as Orkusz. The gentle roundness and assertive verticality are a reminder that even a simple vase can become a sculptural statement—a symbol of Poland’s singular design language of the period.The vase may serve as a focal point on a
