This ashtray or small bowl, crafted by the Kamionka Cooperative in Łysa Góra, is a fine example of Polish studio ceramics from the 1960s, rooted in the modernist tradition. The piece features an organic, asymmetrical triangular form with softly rounded edges, a hallmark of mid-century modern design. Its surface is dominated by a deep, cool blue glaze—ranging from matte to semi-gloss—accented by gradients of turquoise, pale green, and subtle brownish-purple hues. The central area is adorned with a bold, abstract pattern reminiscent of crystalline or volcanic motifs, with speckles of black, white, and blue. The glaze application is expressive and dynamic, with visible brushwork and intentional irregularities, while the ceramic body displays a slightly textured, crackled surface. The rim reveals minor glaze skips, characteristic of workshop ceramics from this era. The original paper label confirming provenance is preserved. Condition: very good, with only minor signs of use and age, no major damage. Within this ashtray echoes the spirit of 1960s Polish modernism, when the imagination of craftsmen merged with a bold approach to glaze and form. The deep blue and vivid color transitions evoke landscapes of minerals or lava frozen in an artistic gesture—like a fragment of earth captured beneath glass,
