This Ditmar Urbach ceramic vase, produced in 1960s Czechoslovakia, features an hourglass silhouette with a pronounced central constriction and a gently flared neck. The lower and central sections display a deep, chestnut brown with a high-gloss finish, while the upper part transitions smoothly into a creamy beige with subtle speckling, ending in a pure white, slightly outward-curving rim. The ombré effect results from meticulous glazing, lending the piece a harmonious and fluid character. The surface is exceptionally smooth and glossy, with no signs of wear, chips, or damage. Crafted as a single piece of ceramic, the vase lacks visible joints or fittings. Its condition is excellent—the original luster of the glaze has been preserved, with no evidence of restoration or flaws.The vase embodies the spirit of 1960s Central European modernism, when Ditmar Urbach artisans experimented with color and texture to express a new era. The hourglass form echoes the architectural clarity of the period, and the seamless transition from chocolate brown to cream and white suggests a pursuit of light and order in the postwar landscape. Each reflection on the glaze highlights the organic qualities of the design, while the subtle interplay of color invites quiet contemplation.This vase could be paired with a low teak table or a simple console to highlight its modernist heritage. It works well as a solo accent on a shelf or alongside minimalist ceramics and neutral glassware. The piece fits comfortably within mid-century modern inspired interiors, but would also suit eclectic, collector-driven spaces. Pairing it with textiles in ochre or deep brown could emphasize its chromatic depth and organic presence.
