This glass vase from the 1970s, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakow Glass Institute, exemplifies the modernist and experimental character of the era's applied art. The vessel’s simple cylindrical silhouette, rendered in a richly saturated red with a glossy, luminous finish, is accented by irregular glass trails in red-orange tones, wrapped around the middle of the body. These raised, swirling elements offer both tactile texture and visual depth, enhancing the play of light across the surface and amplifying the artisanal, handcrafted spirit of the piece. The vase remains in very good condition, with no visible cracks, chips or cloudiness, a testament to its careful handling and preservation.This object carries the narrative of 1970s Polish glass design, an epoch when artistic risk and bold color redefined the language of living room décor. Light passes through the deep red body, igniting the fiery tones of the swirling trails, each line a trace of the glassmaker’s expressive gesture. It is as if the vase preserves a fleeting moment of molten energy, holding the memory of a master’s hand and the vibrant climate of postwar experimentation.Placed on a low wooden sideboard or wide windowsill, the vase would catch the sunlight and release its orange-red brilliance into the room. It could be combined with other glass vessels in clear or smoky hues, ceramic bowls or metal trays, enriching mid-century modern arrangements as well as eclectic collector’s interiors. The vivid red and crafted form will serve as a visual focal point, offering a sophisticated accent to contemporary or vintage-inspired spaces.
