ABOUT PRODUCTID 20228
The Darina bowl is an example of Czechoslovakian mid-century modernism from the 1960s, produced by Ditmar Urbach. Its softly squared shape with rounded corners and gently elevated edges highlights the era’s geometric discipline while introducing a sense of lightness and functionality. The main color is a cool, glossy white porcelain, enriched by an interior ombré in delicate mint and turquoise shades that flow seamlessly across the surface. Two elongated, abstract leaf motifs in olive green with darker accents introduce an organic rhythm and contrast to the minimalist form. The glaze is even and lustrous, with no signs of use, damage, or restoration; original manufacturer markings are preserved on the underside. The piece is in excellent condition, free from repairs or flaws.The bowl’s form and decoration echo the voice of the 1960s—a time when Czechoslovak ceramics explored new means of expression through a dialogue between geometry and nature. Its square frame evokes domestic rituals, while the soft color transitions and organic motifs reference the era’s fascination with harmony and tranquility. In the light, the bowl seems to capture a moment, inviting reflection and recalling stories of family gatherings and modern interiors, where decoration served both practical and symbolic roles.This bowl would be well placed on a natural wood surface, where its cool white and turquoise accents contrast with walnut or oak, emphasizing modernist simplicity. It may be combined with other 1960s vessels or glassware in geometric forms to achieve a cohesive, collectible look. Interiors inspired by mid-century modern or Scandinavian minimalism would appreciate its subtle expression—consider pairing it with Scandinavian ceramics or Polish design from the same era to create a harmonious dialogue between different modernist traditions.
