ABOUT PRODUCTID 23636
This bottle-shaped vase, designed by Wit Płażewski for the Włocławek Faience Factory, exemplifies Polish ceramics from the late 1950s to early 1960s. Made of glazed faience, it measures 26 cm in height and 13 cm in diameter. Its organic, sculptural form features elongated, vertical cut-out openings on both sides, with a seamless construction and no visible joints. The dominant color is a deep, cool blue with delicate tonal variations, contrasted by accents of dark green and creamy white framing the cut-outs. The glossy finish enhances the vibrancy of the hues, while the slender proportions and gently flared neck add a dynamic silhouette. The condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear.This vase reflects an era when Polish ceramics broke through the greyness of everyday life with bold colors and innovative forms. The deep blue glaze, flowing across the smooth surface, evokes the spirit of late 1950s modernist optimism. The cut-outs are reminiscent of organic sculptures, as if the object itself is searching for light and air, while the dynamic palette channels the expressive energy of postwar applied arts. It carries the voice of Polish mid-century modern: measured, yet vibrant and always in pursuit of new harmony.The vase can be paired with period furnishings—veneer sideboards, minimalist tables, or shelving with clean lines. It suits collector’s mid-century interiors as well as spaces blending classic and contemporary elements. Its form is best highlighted against a light backdrop or next to smooth textiles; it can be combined with a single branch, dried grass, or left empty so that its sculptural presence takes center stage in the living room.
