ABOUT PRODUCTID 20358
This vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Krakow Glass Institute, exemplifies Polish design of the 1970s, crafted from mass-colored soda glass in an intense, warm red. The upper section features a distinctive bubble relief, lending the surface a tactile, three-dimensional pattern. The slender neck is composed of several rounded segments that merge seamlessly into a wide, stable base. The overall silhouette is sculptural and organically modeled, characteristic of late modernist idioms, with precise craftsmanship evident in the absence of visible joints or imperfections. The glass remains clear and lustrous, highlighting the depth of color. The vase is preserved in very good condition, free from chips, cracks, or signs of wear.This form speaks the language of the 1970s: its vivid color and textured surface recall an era when the Polish school of glass was boldly experimenting with both shape and hue. The organic, bulbous segments seem to flow toward the base, as if the glass still remembers its molten, malleable origins. The bubble motif evokes a microcosm suspended within the vessel—a reflection of the period’s fascination with nature, structure, and light, transformed here into a narrative of harmony between craft and artistic expression.The vase can serve as a standalone statement on a console in the living room or be incorporated into a composition with other mid-century modern vessels. It pairs well with sleek, modern sideboards, as well as wooden or high-gloss lacquered surfaces that accentuate the richness of the red glass. For a curated effect, it may be combined with neutral textiles or minimalist ceramics, underscoring its sculptural presence. Whether displayed empty or with a single branch, it offers a strong, collectible accent within the space.
