ABOUT PRODUCTID 1894
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Tarnowiec Glassworks in the 1970s, is a prime example of Polish artistic glass rooted in modernist aesthetics. Crafted from cased soda glass, the vessel stands 16 cm tall and 6.4 cm long, displaying a slender, elongated silhouette. The main body is rendered in a pastel pink with a slightly milky, semi-opaque finish that gently reflects light. Two distinctive sculptural handles, fashioned from clear raspberry-red glass into elegant symmetrical loops, provide a bold contrast to the delicacy of the form. The base is thick and transparent, ensuring stability and highlighting the precision of the glasswork. The surface is smooth and glossy, and the vase is in excellent condition without any signs of damage or wear. The vase’s form speaks to the interplay of color and light characteristic of the 1970s—a period when Polish glassworks embraced innovative coloring techniques and expressive design elements. The signature handles evoke organic inspiration from the era, reminiscent of soft sculpture and subtle motion. This piece narrates the story of modernist fascination with pure forms and carefully placed accents, while upholding the tradition of Polish glass artistry and craftsmanship. The vase can be displayed solo on a console or low shelf, where its gentle pink and raspberry accents subtly enliven the setting. It pairs well with clear glass, ceramics in muted tones, or minimalist framed graphics. Interiors in the spirit of mid-century modern, contemporary eclecticism, or classic modernism allow its qualities to shine; it may also be combined with metallic accessories or matte wood to underscore the artistic intent of the design.
