This vase is a representative example of Polish folk ceramics from the 1970s, crafted by the Faience Factory in Koło. The tall, slender silhouette with a gently waisted line underscores the geometric discipline typical of the era’s design. Warm, earthy shades of beige dominate, seamlessly blending from light cream to medium brown, enlivened by bands of olive green. The satin-glazed surface reflects light with subtle softness, while the hand-painted floral motifs—large, stylized flowers in muted yellow and brown—form two decorative bands separated by wider brown stripes. The texture appears smooth at first glance, yet brushstrokes reveal a handcrafted, rustic character. The vase remains in very good condition, without visible signs of damage, repair, or major wear.The vase carries the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish folk ceramics sought a balance between tradition and evolving aesthetics. Its form tells, with quiet reserve, of daily life where simplicity mingles with a desire for ornament. The satiny sheen of the glaze catches light along the edges, as if evoking the warmth of home and the hand of the craftsman—a legacy from Koło’s workshops. The painterly floral bands subtly recount stories of regional influences and how folklore was reframed through the lens of modern proportions.In a living or dining room, the vase pairs well with other natural materials—ceramics, amber-toned glass, or linen textiles. It could be combined with a simple oak console table or set against an earth-toned wall, where understated folk decorations find renewed context. When accompanied by woven baskets or macramé accents, the arrangement gains a rustic note, all while retaining the clear imprint of vintage Polish craftsmanship.
