ABOUT PRODUCTID 1332
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in the 1980s, exemplifies Polish modernist glasswork from the Tarnowiec Glassworks. Crafted by hand from soda-lime glass colored in the mass, it features a substantial form with gentle, organic curves and balanced proportions characteristic of late 20th-century design. The surface is smooth and glossy, displaying a milky peach-pink hue that subtly transitions into more translucent and lighter tones at the base and rim. Clear, glass 'buttons' are regularly applied to the body, adding a tactile and visual dimension. Visible signs of hand-forming—such as slight asymmetries and minute air bubbles—emphasize the artisanal nature of the piece. There are no visible chips, cracks, or signs of significant wear; the vase remains in very good condition, with its original luster intact.The vase carries the spirit of the 1980s in Poland, an era when glassmakers embraced pastel palettes and organic lines, transforming everyday objects into sculptural forms. Its silhouette and color evoke the sense of a quiet morning in a living room of that decade, while the transparent glass accents speak to a craft that proudly reveals traces of its making. The object tells of a time when decorative and functional qualities intertwined, and glass became a discreet witness to daily rituals.The vase can be paired with other pieces from the era—such as ceramics with fluid, organic shapes, amber-toned glassware, or pastel textiles. It works well atop a low wooden sideboard or in the context of minimalist furniture with geometric lines, where its soft form and warm hue become a gentle focal point. It may be combined with a single long branch or left empty, highlighting its sculptural presence against a light-colored wall.
