ABOUT PRODUCTID 16244
This set of two ceramic vases produced by Jamberk in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s exemplifies the essence of Eastern European mid-century modernism. Each vase features a distinctive geometric profile with broad shoulders, a gently narrowing neck, and a subtly flared rim—a combination of sculptural form and utilitarian purpose that defined the era. The color composition is striking: one vase features a creamy white upper section with a deep, glossy chocolate-brown base, while the other displays an inverted palette. Straight, horizontal transitions mark the color divide, highlighting the minimalistic yet bold aesthetic. The ceramics possess a heavy and perfectly even structure, with a glass-like, lustrous glaze that intensifies the clarity of both tones. Subtle irregularities and asymmetry in the shape, inherent to hand-made craftsmanship, add authenticity and individuality to the set. Each base still bears the original Jamberk stamp, confirming provenance. The set shows no signs of wear, damage, or restoration—both vases remain in excellent, original vintage condition.These vases echo the visual optimism and creative confidence of the 1960s, when everyday objects were shaped with sculptural ambition. The vivid glaze and bold color blocking evoke the spirit of postwar modernist experimentation in Eastern Europe. They appear as if recalling the atmosphere of a designer’s atelier, where light plays over smooth ceramic surfaces and hand-worked lines whisper stories of the craftspeople and studios that defined the decade.Such a set can be displayed on a walnut sideboard or divided between shelves for a layered effect—one vase flanking a minimalist stack of visual art books, the other paired with mid-century graphics or organic glass objects.
