This porcelain vase from the Wawel manufactory exemplifies Polish design of the 1960s, a period when organic shapes and experimental decorative techniques met the evolving modernist sensibility. Its silhouette takes the form of a droplet—fluidly tapering with an upward-curving tip, lacking handles, foot, or any additional ornamentation. The surface features a glossy glaze in a soft, pale violet hue, accentuated by irregular cobalt-blue marbling applied through the tamponage technique. The lustrous, smooth finish enhances the depth of the marbled pattern and reveals the high level of craftsmanship in its seamless, cohesive form. The overall condition is excellent: free of damage or repairs, with an even and saturated glaze.The vase tells the story of an era when porcelain became a canvas for artistic exploration—when Polish craft industries merged utility with a new avant-garde. The droplet form appears to capture a moment of movement, while the pearlescent glaze and blue marbling evoke the play of light on water’s surface. It speaks in the voice of the 1960s: a time when each object was intended not just to serve, but to intrigue with its shape and color.This vase could be paired with furniture featuring restrained, clean lines in wood or metal, in keeping with the mid-century modern vocabulary. It may be placed on a white or light gray console or set against a pastel-colored wall to highlight the subtlety of the violet tone. It works well as a solo, sculptural accent atop a low sideboard, or as a bold contrast among ceramics with geometric forms and varied colors. For more eclectic interiors, it may be combined with Polish glassware from the 1960s for a quintessential collector’s display.
