ABOUT PRODUCTID 20357
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz and produced in the 1970s at the Kraków Glass Institute, is an example of Polish artistic glass rooted in mid-century modern aesthetics. Made from fully colored glass, it features a vibrant red hue with warm orange gradations, especially near the handles. The body is bulbous and rounded, with a short, cylindrical neck flaring outward, flanked by two symmetrical, circular handles formed as rings. The glass is smooth and finished to a high, almost mirror-like gloss, with no visible surface textures or irregularities, attesting to the quality of its craftsmanship. Proportions are harmonious, with the handles lending a sculptural accent. The vase measures 11.6 cm in height and 10.5 cm in diameter. It is preserved in very good condition, with no damage or signs of restoration.This vase carries the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish applied arts sought distinctiveness through color and form. The saturated red, deepened by its glossy finish, seems to vibrate with the creative energy of the era, as designers experimented within modernist traditions. The circular handles evoke playful, avant-garde explorations of form, as if the glass itself wishes to narrate a story about the balance between utility and sculpture. The piece makes no secret of its origins—its linear simplicity and bold color speak directly of the time in which it was made.The vase can be paired with other objects of striking geometry, such as minimalist ceramic bowls or matte glass vessels that accentuate its gloss and color depth.
