ABOUT PRODUCTID 23805
This vintage porcelain 'bowling pin' vase, designed by Zofia Przybyszewska in the 1950s for the Wałbrzych Porcelain Factory, exemplifies the Polish take on mid-century modern style. Measuring 26.5 cm in height and 8 × 8 cm in width and depth, the vase is defined by an elongated, hourglass profile with a gently flared, V-shaped mouth. The primary color is a warm, muted pink with a lustrous, glazed finish that creates reflective highlights on the smooth surface. The central section is decorated with an abstract, geometric pattern of irregular white intersecting lines running vertically along the front, accentuating the vase’s slim form. The underside bears the factory mark 'Wawel, made in Poland', confirming its authenticity. The vase is in very good condition, showing no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This vase carries the story of postwar Poland, where design embraced lightness, experimentation, and subtle optimism. Its form echoes the gentle conversation between function and ornament—geometry suggesting pathways to modernity, the pastel pink evoking dreams of a fresh start. The glossy glaze reflects light in a way that recalls the tranquil interiors of the 1950s, when even a small accent piece could express personal style.The vase could be placed on a low sideboard of light wood or a marble surface in the living room, where it pairs well with other ceramics from the era or minimalist metal accessories. A single sculptural branch emphasizes its graphic qualities. It fits seamlessly into mid-century modern settings, eclectic collector’s interiors, or contemporary spaces with vintage touches, allowing its subtle, linear motif to stand out.
