ABOUT PRODUCTID 10115
This porcelain figurine of a reading woman, produced by the Czechoslovakian manufacturer Jihokera in the 1960s, offers a modernist take on an everyday moment. The sculpture is crafted from high-quality porcelain in a pure, cool white tone, covered with a uniform, glossy glaze that gives the surface a mirror-like sheen and smooth, flowing texture. Details of the face and hands are intentionally stylized and simplified, directing attention to the silhouette and posture rather than intricate ornamentation. The drapery is rendered in fluid, geometric lines, contrasting with the organic forms of the body and limbs. The entire piece is monochromatic, free from painted accents or additional colors, while the base is seamlessly integrated into the composition. Its proportions are harmonious and balanced, with no visible joints or assembly traces. The condition is excellent—there is only a minor chip at the back of the figure, which does not affect its overall impression.The figurine echoes the spirit of the 1960s—a decade when modernism celebrated simplicity and the quiet beauty of form. The figure, absorbed in her book, evokes an atmosphere of contemplative stillness typical of mid-century interiors. The fluid lines and cool gloss of the glaze transform the sculpture into a subtle portrait of a paused moment in daily life, where gesture and ritual matter more than decoration. The monochrome white allows light to play the leading role, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the calm that radiates from the scene.This piece may be placed on a low sideboard, bookshelf, or minimalist shelf in a living room, where it will gently enhance a modernist interior.
