ABOUT PRODUCTID 30608
This glass vessel, attributed to Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz, originates from Krakow’s artistic glass workshops of the 1960s, a period marked by Polish utilitarian modernism. The form combines hand-blown glass in a deep olive green hue with a robust, sculpted handle adorned with distinctive glass prongs. The surface is glossy and slightly translucent, revealing air bubbles and subtle organic irregularities – a hallmark of artisanal craftsmanship. The simple cylindrical body widens at the base for stability and pleasing proportions. Every detail, from the handle to the decorative accents, remains original and authentic. The condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear. This vessel tells the story of Polish glass from the 1960s, when craftsmanship met the quiet imagination of the designer. The warm, earthy olive green evokes the era’s natural inspirations, while the pronounced prongs on the handle echo medieval forms, as if the piece still remembers the traditions of old guild workshops. Gentle undulations and small inclusions in the glass remind us that each example was made individually, reflecting the spirit of the maker’s hand rather than mass production. The vessel can serve as a standalone accent on a console in the living room – its color pairs well with wood, ceramics, or neutral textiles in mid-century modern interiors. When grouped with other glass pieces from the 1960s, it creates a collectible rhythm on a shelf or sideboard. It would also suit eclectic spaces, where, alongside contemporary accessories, it highlights its artisanal, slightly rustic origins. Height: 18 cm, upper diameter: 10
