The 'bowling pin' vase from Mirostowice Ceramic Works was produced in the 1960s and exemplifies the modernist tradition of Polish utilitarian ceramics. Its tall, slender silhouette—27 cm in height—with a subtly flared neck evokes the profile of a bowling pin. The surface features an airbrushed gradient: a vibrant olive green transitions seamlessly into deep black accents along the sides, while the glossy glaze emphasizes the smooth, uniform character of the ceramic. The vase is free from additional decoration, highlighting the purity of its lines and the minimalist ethos of the mid-century modern era. It stands on a small, round base measuring 6 cm in diameter. The condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear.This vase speaks with the voice of the 1960s—a period where simplicity met bold color choices. The olive green and black accents recall the atmosphere of a modernist interior, where light plays across glossy surfaces and restrained detail allows the raw elegance of material to shine through. The vase might tell stories of an era when Polish ceramics broke away from convention, merging functionality with artistic intent, and each color gradient represented a deliberate gesture by the maker.This piece would work well on a sideboard in a living room or as a centerpiece on a dining table, ideally paired with simple, geometric vessels or clear glass. It can be set against a light oak surface or a graphite-colored wall to emphasize the color contrast. Interiors with a mid-century modern spirit or contemporary spaces with a collector’s touch will bring out its form—especially when accompanied by delicate-leafed plants or a single branch that won’t disrupt the vase’s minimalist silhouette.
