ABOUT PRODUCTID 36805
The vase from the 'Milky Way' set, designed by B. Fribes for the Tułowice Porcelain Factory in Poland during the 1960s, embodies the essence of Polish mid-century modern design. Its tall, slender cylindrical form (36.6 cm high, 10.5 cm in diameter) is crafted from porcelain with a sprayed glaze, resulting in a smooth, glossy surface. The dominant deep black is finished to a mirror-like shine, adorned with fine, silvery-white speckling that is denser at the base and gradually fades towards the top. This decoration, reminiscent of a star-filled night sky, directly references the 'Milky Way' theme and evokes the era’s fascination with space. The underside is marked with the factory signature: 'PT | TUŁOWICE | MADE IN POLAND'. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of wear; the finish is uniform and original.This piece quietly narrates the story of 1960s Polish design, when the allure of the cosmos and a forward-looking spirit shaped everyday objects. Like a piece of the night sky, the vase recalls a time when designers sought inspiration beyond the ordinary. Its glossy black surface, dusted with silvery speckles, channels the poetics of the future: the minimalist form needs no ornament, as the interplay of light and reflection carries the narrative.Within an interior, the vase can be paired with simple-lined tableware, a glass console, or a marble countertop to highlight its geometric silhouette and lustrous finish. It fits seamlessly into mid-century modern or minimalist living rooms, where it becomes a striking accent against muted backgrounds. It may be combined with décor in silver, graphite, or matte white, and displayed with a single branch or left empty—allowing its cosmic heritage to come to the fore.
