ABOUT PRODUCTID 1857
This pedestal bowl, designed by Wiesława Gołajewska for the Pruszków Tableware Porcelain Factory in the 1960s, exemplifies Polish mid-century modernist design. The form is defined by a wide, shallow bowl supported by three sturdy, conical legs that seamlessly integrate into the overall shape. Crafted from glazed stoneware in a cool, off-white hue with subtle grey undertones, the surface features the era’s signature ‘running glaze’ technique. Raised, irregular patterns reminiscent of coral or tree bark repeat across both the bowl and the legs, lending a sculptural quality and tactile depth. There is a small chip visible on the rim, a sign of age-appropriate use, but no cracks or repairs, confirming the good vintage condition. This piece speaks with the voice of the 1960s Polish design movement, when modernity was balanced by organic inspiration. The bowl seems to recount an era where function and artistic expression were intrinsically linked: the geometric stability of the legs contrasts with the freedom of the glazed patterns, as if the designer intended the object to be both utilitarian and intimately tactile. In its cool white tones and irregular surface, one can sense a search for harmony between technology and craftsmanship that defined the time. The bowl would work well as a stand-alone accent on an oak table or a 1960s sideboard, drawing out the light and texture of its surroundings. It can be paired with minimalist ceramics or neutral-toned glass, complemented by abstract art or textiles with pronounced weaves. Within mid-century modern interiors or among
