ABOUT PRODUCTID 20524
This miniature pitcher, produced by the Steatyt porcelain factory in Katowice around 1960, exemplifies a Pop Art-inspired approach to Polish porcelain from the 1960s. Made of glazed porcelain, it features a vivid orange-red hue with a highly reflective, glossy finish. The smooth surface enhances the modern character of the piece. Its slender, stylized form—an elongated, asymmetrical teardrop with an integrated handle curving gently from base to top—draws on mid-century modern aesthetics. A distinctive white, abstract brushstroke pattern runs vertically along the front, creating a bold contrast with the orange background. The pitcher lacks a visible spout, and its proportions emphasize verticality and lightness. No signs of wear, damage, or restoration are visible; the condition is very good.The form of this pitcher tells the story of 1960s Polish design, when Silesian manufacturers like Steatyt in Katowice combined Western Pop Art influences with local craft traditions. The saturated, energetic color and assertive painterly gesture evoke an era in which decorative objects were equally sculptural and expressive. This small vessel stands as a visual manifesto: porcelain could be more than functional—it could be daring in color, form, and detail.Such an object could be displayed alongside other Polish or European mid-century pieces, such as geometric vases, glass figurines, or minimalist mid-century modern furniture. It would work well as a bold accent in a light-filled interior—placed on a shelf, console, or coffee table—where its intense color and dynamic lines add visual impact. Consider pairing it with neutral textiles or monochrome graphic art to highlight its Pop Art heritage and underscore its collectible character.
