About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This striking glass beer cup was designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for the Cracow Institute for Glassworks in Poland during the 1970s. The piece exemplifies the distinctive approach to art glass that emerged from Eastern Europe during this era, combining robust form with vivid colour. Crafted from deep red glass, the cylindrical body is accented with clear glass elements, including a substantial applied handle with a decorative thumb rest and a double-ringed base. The contrast between the rich ruby tone and the transparent details highlights the artisanal glassmaking techniques employed at the Cracow Institute. The piece reflects the bold, experimental aesthetic characteristic of 1970s Polish design. The cup remains in very good condition, preserving its original vibrant colour and structural integrity. The glass retains its smooth finish and clarity, demonstrating the quality of its mid-century production. This distinctive vessel serves as both a functional object and a sculptural accent. It brings a strong pop of colour and historical character to a modern bar cart, open shelving, or a curated collection of mid-century European art glass.
