The 'navel' vase, designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz in 1972 at the Glass Institute in Kraków, embodies the avant-garde spirit of Polish art glass from the 1970s. Its robust, colored glass body in deep, warm red is bulbous and symmetrical, featuring a signature central indentation—the 'navel'. Sculptural handles run from the neck to the shoulders, adorned with organic, spiky protrusions. Contrasting accents in translucent orange glass appear on the sides and handles, lending a dynamic rhythm to the form. The entire piece is anchored on a broad, slightly flared base. The surface is smooth and glossy, with no visible seams, attesting to the precision of craftsmanship. The vase is preserved in ideal collector's condition, with no signs of use or damage.This object quietly dialogues with antiquity: drawing from the archetypes of ancient amphorae, it reimagines them through the lens of 1970s experiment and boldness, when expressive color and form became the language of artistic exploration. The depth of red and the orange details play with the light, while the sculptural handles evoke the fantastical gestures of designers unafraid of monumental, nearly theatrical solutions. The vase appears to recount the era's history, when everyday objects were transformed into striking decorative sculptures.The vase can be displayed solo on a light wood console against a neutral wall, where light will highlight its vivid color and gloss. It works well in mid-century modern settings, eclectic
