ABOUT PRODUCTID 13902
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakow Glass Institute in the 1970s, embodies the essence of Polish modernism, where organic contours merge with disciplined geometric sensibility. The vessel features a rounded, bulbous silhouette with a gently narrowing, flat rim, crafted from semi-transparent, cool-toned violet glass with a subdued, smoky hue. Its surface has a soft satin finish, subtly reflecting light without excessive gloss. The most distinctive detail is a thick, hand-applied glass thread in a darker, violet-brown shade, spiraling dynamically around the vessel and adding both visual depth and tactile contrast. The base is noticeably thickened, underscoring the piece’s handcrafted quality and functional solidity. There are no visible chips, cracks, or restoration; the condition is very good, with the original form and details well-preserved.This glass form resonates with the spirit of the 1970s—a period when Polish art glass confidently ventured into modernity, embracing simplicity with expressive experimentation. The organic, rounded body merges with the lively, almost painterly gesture of the applied thread, as though the vase itself narrates a story of freeform creativity balanced by expert glassmaking discipline. Its cool violet hue interacts gently with ambient light, producing misty, subtle reflections, while the undulating thread sets a rhythmic pulse—together evoking a sense of calm and quiet visual intrigue.The vase can be paired
