The Ćmielów 'Butla' porcelain vase is a quintessential example of Polish mid-century modernism from the 1950s. Its tall, slender silhouette (32.5 cm high), crafted from white porcelain and coated in a lustrous glaze, exemplifies clarity of form and balanced proportions. The subtle, cool light grey hue with a faint bluish undertone reinforces the minimalist aesthetic, while the delicate, cloud-like mottled effect of the glaze adds visual depth. The neck flares gently and transitions seamlessly into the body, standing stably on a flat base. The underside bears the 'Ćmielów' mark and 'Made in Poland' inscription. There are no decorative handles or accents, further emphasizing the restraint of the design. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear or damage.This vase echoes the spirit of the 1950s, a period when Polish porcelain shifted from ornate motifs towards modernist simplicity. The 'Butla' form tells a story of fascination with geometry and the pursuit of harmony—its lines seem to say: 'A pure contour and the play of light across a smooth surface are enough to reveal the beauty of everyday life.' The glossy glaze and subtle coloration evoke the optimism of the postwar era, while the understated form invites personal interpretation.The vase can be paired with sculptural branches or single, boldly shaped flowers. It would work well in a modern living room set against matte, neutral walls or as a solo accent on a console or shelf in a study. It may be combined with other mid-century modern objects—glass, minimalist ceramics, or simple-lined furniture—to highlight its collectible character. The vase brings a clear, tranquil rhythm to both contemporary and eclectic interiors.Dimensions: height 32.5 cm, diameter 7 cm. Glazed porcelain, airbrushed decoration. Marked on the base.
