This ceramic vase from 1960s Czechoslovakia exemplifies the mid-century modern approach, where form and color are given equal prominence. The silhouette features a wide, rounded body that transitions smoothly into a slender, cylindrical neck and a stable, lightly flared base. The dominant element is a deep, saturated cobalt blue with a cool undertone, accentuated by irregular streams of white and light blue glaze that flow freely from the upper section. The surface is finished with a glossy, mirror-like glaze, highlighting the play of light and shadow across the form. The neck’s interior remains unglazed, revealing the natural light beige ceramic material. The vase is meticulously crafted, with no visible joints or production marks. Its condition is excellent—there are no chips, cracks, or signs of wear.This vase carries the voice of Central European avant-garde from the 1960s, a period when artisans experimented boldly with color, form, and organic glazing. The space age-inspired silhouette and flowing lines evoke the era’s sense of optimism and futuristic vision. The cascading glaze acts as a record of creative spontaneity—an abstract gesture captured in ceramic, where each detail in the glaze is unique and expressive of the moment.The vase can be displayed solo on a low teak console or a sideboard with clean lines, where its cobalt blue depth and glossy sheen are accentuated by natural light. It works well as a counterpoint to a muted palette—pair it with minimalist furniture, glass or metal accessories, and a single stem of pale flowers. In mid-century modern collector arrangements, it could be grouped with other 1960s ceramics to create a geometric composition that highlights both color and texture of the glaze.
