ABOUT PRODUCTID 36618
Ikebana, model no. 494, is a decorative faience vessel designed by Wit Płażewski and produced by Zakłady Fajansu 'Włocławek' in the 1960s. Crafted from glazed ceramic in a warm, saturated yellow, the piece features subtle green brushstroke accents along the rim and sides. The form is organic and slightly asymmetrical, with gently upturned, thickened ends serving as handles—an expression of mid-century modernist inspiration. The perforated insert, with its evenly spaced round holes, fits neatly into the base, while the smooth, glazed surfaces emphasize the vibrancy of the colors. The factory mark is present on the underside. The condition is very good, with no visible damage, chips, or restoration—only minimal traces of age.This ikebana tells the story of 1960s Polish design, where function and ornament merged with bold color and fluid, expressive lines. The glazed ceramic reflects light as if capturing an endless summer afternoon, while the organic form alludes to natural motifs reimagined through a modernist lens. This piece seems to whisper of an era when Polish ceramics sought its own voice between tradition and modernity, offering not only utility but a surprising visual presence.In an interior, this ikebana can be paired with other examples of 1960s Polish ceramics or glassware to form a vibrant, collectible arrangement on a low sideboard or console. It works well alongside mid-century modern furniture, but also as a contrasting accent in minimalist, contemporary spaces. Combining it with textured textiles or lush greenery will highlight its organic origins and sculptural silhouette.
