This bowl, designed by Ada Chmiel for the Steatyt manufactory in Katowice, is a striking ceramic piece from the 1960s. The shallow, flower-like form features undulating, organic edges, creating a sculptural profile. Its interior displays a dynamic, radiating geometric motif: four vivid red sections alternate with black-and-white zigzag triangles, all converging towards a central white circle. The underside is smooth and unmarked, emphasizing the hand-formed, artisanal quality. The color palette—rich red, deep black, and crisp white—paired with the bold pattern, reflects the pop art and postmodern influences so characteristic of Polish mid-century design. The bowl is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This piece evokes the spirit of Polish postwar avant-garde, 'speaking' of an era when everyday objects became canvases for artistic experimentation. The wavy ceramic rim and energetic geometry echo a period when designers infused domestic life with color and movement, challenging conventions and inviting optimism. The bowl seems to capture and refract light through its vibrant red, as if each curve and motif recalls the creative fervor of 1960s Steatyt workshops—where functionality met bold visual language in a distinctly modern Polish idiom.The bowl can be placed as a focal point on a living room table, or on a hallway or dining console. It pairs well with other strong decorative objects: colored glass, minimalist candlest
