This modernist vase, designed by Marian Garga for Ceramika Krakowska in the 1960s, exemplifies the sculptural freedom and precision characteristic of its era.

Its surface is smooth and glassy, without cracks or chips, confirming its very good condition; the object has been refreshed and preserved in its original state, with no acquired damage. The listed price applies to a single piece. The vase’s form tells the story of Polish modernism in the 1960s—an era where creative experiment met a deep respect for craft.
