The 'Butla' vase from Ćmielów, dating to 1957, exemplifies Polish design of the 1950s. This tall (32.5 cm), slender porcelain vase features a cool turquoise hue with a glossy, glazed finish. Its most distinctive detail is the geometric motif of white horizontal stripes of varying thickness, positioned near the top of the body and lending a minimalist, modernist accent. The silhouette—elongated and bottle-like, with gently rounded shoulders and a narrow neck—emphasizes vertical proportions typical of mid-century modern aesthetics. The vase is signed 'Ćmielów, Made in Poland' and remains in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of use.The vase speaks in the language of postwar optimism—a statement of simplicity, modernity, and refined elegance that Polish designers brought into everyday life. The smooth turquoise porcelain reflects light in soft glints, while the white stripes act like a graphic echo of modernism, invoking a sense of experimentation and freshness. The 'Butla' form seems to declare: 'A line and a color are enough to create an object that withstands the test of time.'The vase can serve as a focal point on a console or sideboard in a modern living room, where its clean lines and expressive color will take center stage. It works well in mid-century modern arrangements, surrounded by light wood furniture and minimalist décor. It may be paired with simple ceramics, glass, or a single graphic branch—highlighting its form and color palette without overwhelming the subtle character of the 1950s.
