ABOUT PRODUCTID 20300
The bow-adorned vase by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz is a representative example of Polish artistic glass from the 1970s, created in Kraków in 1972. The body, crafted from colored, transparent glass in a vivid yellow hue, gently flares towards the top, forming an organic, flowing silhouette. At the base, decorative elements resembling a bow or knot, made from the same glass but in a deeper amber tone, create a refined, seamless color gradient. The glass is highly polished, its glossy surface free from visible seams or imperfections – the decorative details are precisely integrated into the form. The round, stable base features thicker glass that transitions from yellow to amber. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no damage or signs of wear.This vase speaks in the voice of early 1970s Polish modernism, when artistic glassmaking embraced the freedom of color and form. The colored glass evokes the sunny energy of the era, while the bow-shaped details at the base recall a decorative approach that is understated yet playfully light. The glossy surface reflects light, creating an impression of luminous depth, as if the vase itself sought to capture the rays of a summer day.The vase can be displayed on a light wood console or a minimalist table, where its yellow hue will enhance the natural light of the interior. It also pairs well with other 1970s vessels – glass or ceramic – and in arrangements inspired by retro, modernist, or eclectic collector aesthetics. It is worth combining it with a single branch or vividly colored flowers to highlight its artistic pedigree and create a striking contrast.
