This ribbed faience vase, designed by Elżbieta Piwek-Białoborska for the Włocławek Faience Factory in 1956 (model 3139), is a notable example of Polish decorative ceramics from the 1950s. The organic, bulbous form with a narrow, slightly flared neck is articulated by vertical grooves and covered in a cool, glossy glaze.
