Compact in scale yet rich in expression, the cylinder-shaped piece features a vibrant ruby red hue that gracefully transitions into deep black towards the rim, creating a dramatic gradient effect that plays beautifully with light. The bold color palette is masterfully contrasted by a delicate transparent glass spiral coil wrapped horizontally around the body, applied by hand with exceptional decorative flair.\u003cbr\u003eHand-formed in sodium glass with colored mass, this vase reflects the experimental spirit and craftsmanship that defined the regional glass design movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Słuczan-Orkusz, known for blending sculptural form with modernist simplicity, brought a sense of individuality and dynamism to utilitarian objects. Elegant yet expressive, this unsigned piece serves equally well as a functional flower vase or a standalone mid-century modern decorative object. It remains in very good vintage condition, entirely free of chips, cracks, or restorations.\u003cbr\u003ePlease review all photos carefully, as they are an integral part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"727\" data-start=\"153\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-start=\"311\" data-end=\"332\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"311\" data-end=\"330\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height 7 1\/2\" × Diameter 3 1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-Formed Sodium Glass, Colored Mass, Applied Clear Glass Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Poland (Tarnowiec Glassworks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/b\u003e 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eSignature:\u003c\/b\u003e Unsigned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Very good vintage condition; no cracks or chips.

Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz (1924–2002), educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, helped define the aesthetic of regional decorative arts. His collaboration with the Tarnowiec workshop yielded some of his most recognized designs, marked by the use of rich colored glass mass and hand-applied structural glass overlays. Today, these creations are highly sought after by collectors of Eastern European mid-century modern design and serve as a testament to postwar applied arts creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artemis Row","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41452040290398,"sku":"2040115","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/5807\/8302\/files\/Vintage_Glass_Vase_Ruby-to-Black_1.jpg?v=1757522140","url":"https:\/\/artemisrow.com\/products\/vintage-ruby-red-black-art-glass-spiral-vase","provider":"Artemis Row","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
