ABOUT PRODUCTID 17164
This ceramic centerpiece bowl, produced by Ditmar Urbach in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s, exemplifies the mid-century modern style with its organic yet minimalist design. The subtly asymmetrical, oval shape features gently sloping walls and a slightly elevated, stable base—ideal proportions for fruit, decorative arrangements, or as a standalone display object. The surface is coated in a warm, off-white ivory glaze with a satin gloss, contrasted by a soft olive-green accent covering about half of the exterior. Set against this green, a low-relief geometric pattern of intersecting lines and squares adds tactile and visual texture without disrupting the smooth lines of the form. The interior is smoothly glazed in uniform ivory. The bowl is in excellent condition, free from visible wear, chips, repairs, or restoration, and the glaze surface reflects the high quality of Czechoslovak ceramics from the era. The bowl’s form quietly narrates the optimism and clarity of its period, when deliberate simplicity was enriched by thoughtful color contrasts and surface texture. Ditmar Urbach’s design echoes the era's modernist ethos: the geometric pattern on the green symbolizes a balance between handcrafted detail and industrial advancement. The piece speaks of careful attention to material and form, with its organic outline and restrained color palette evoking the tactile pleasure of everyday mid-century objects. This platter would lend itself beautifully as a centerpiece on a light wood dining table or as a subtle highlight atop a dark sideboard in a mid-century
