This porcelain vase, produced by the Wałbrzych Porcelain Factory in 1959, is an example of Polish mid-century modern design. Crafted from high-quality porcelain, its surface is finished in a deep cobalt blue that gradually transitions into a lighter shade towards the base, achieved through a spray technique. The tall, cylindrical form with gently rounded shoulders and a subtly tapered base emphasizes balanced proportions. The front features a hand-applied minimalist pattern—two slightly wavy vertical lines intersected by small white strokes—typical of the geometric abstraction of the 1950s. The fine, even porcelain is free from visible damage or restoration marks. The vase stands 31 cm tall with an 11 cm diameter. It is preserved in very good condition, with no chips or cracks and retains its original glaze.This vase, rooted in the spirit of postwar Polish modernism, tells the story of an era where simplicity and functionality blended with subtle ornamentation. The glossy porcelain reflects light, evoking the bright interiors of the mid-century, where every detail held significance. The linear decoration resembles a trace of movement—a gentle, wavering gesture across a calm surface—echoing the optimism and modernity that shaped everyday design of the time. The delicate color gradient suggests a seamless transition from the ordinary to the celebratory, encapsulated in a form that is both simple and refined.The Wałbrzych vase could be combined with other ceramic pieces from the 1950s or 1960s to create a cohesive collection on an oak console or within a glass-fronted cabinet. It also works well as a standalone accent against a pale wall or atop a minimalist natural wood table. Pair
