ABOUT PRODUCTID 22375
This ceramic figurine, made by Jihokera Bechyně in Czechoslovakia during the 1950s, exemplifies decorative craftsmanship of the mid-century modern era. The composition features an elongated rower in a streamlined boat, fully integrated with a stylized wave base. The entire piece is finished in a warm ivory white, with no additional colors or painted accents, maintaining a monochromatic aesthetic. The surface is smooth and subtly glossy, while the flowing, minimalist lines accentuate the modernist character. Details such as the rower's musculature and the rippling waves are finely rendered yet understated, remaining in harmony with the overall streamlined form. The condition is described as very good, with no visible cracks, chips, or signs of restoration.This figurine carries the voice of the 1950s—a time when everyday objects embraced the rhythm of modernity, and home decor sought both functionality and timeless appeal. The fluid silhouette of the boat and rower seems to narrate a story of movement, strength, and balance, reflecting the ideals of mid-century modern design. The luminous ceramic, gentle sheen, and balanced proportions evoke an era where simplicity and optimism coexisted, suggesting that every object was meant not only to adorn but also to inspire forward-looking perspectives.The figurine can be displayed on a sideboard in the living room, a shelf on a vintage bookcase, or a contemporary windowsill—its monochrome coloration allowing it to pair with dark woods, glass, or matte metals. It would work well as a subtle accent in mid-century modern, minimalist, or collector's interiors, alongside classic lighting, geometric prints, or other porcelain objects. It is worth combining with textiles in muted tones to highlight its sculptural quality and enduring character.
