Designed by Jerzy Słuczan-Orkusz for Huta Tarnowiec in the 1970s.
​This vessel is styled after the classic "Roemer" wine goblet (a form dating back to the 16th century), reinterpreted through a bold 1970s lens. The body is crafted from solid opaline pink glass (selenium pink).
​The standout feature is the stem, decorated with applied clear glass "prunts" (or rosettes). In historical glass, these provided grip; here, they serve as exaggerated, sculptural elements that define the piece's character.
​It functions beautifully as a unique posy vase, a candle holder, or simply as a conversation piece for a collector of eclectic glass.
