ABOUT PRODUCTID 23637
This porcelain vase, designed by Danuta Duszniak around 1960 for the Karolina factory in Jaworzyna Śląska, stands as a distinctive example of Polish mid-century modern. The form is based on an elongated, slender silhouette with a gently flared base and an asymmetrical, sculptural mouth, lending an artistic quality to the piece. The deep, glossy black finish provides a dramatic backdrop for the white geometric pattern of vertical, organic lines that circles the upper section. Measuring 24 cm in height and 7.6 cm in diameter, the vase’s proportions are carefully balanced, while the highly polished glaze reflects light and enhances the smoothness of the porcelain. The Karolina signature confirms its authenticity. The vase is in very good condition, showing no visible signs of wear or damage.This piece tells a story of Polish design in the 1960s, where modernism met a bold decorative approach. The interplay of black and white evokes a dialogue of light and shadow across a modernist facade, while the asymmetrical mouth recalls the sculptural experiments of the era. The smooth porcelain surface and expressive lines capture the optimism and creative pursuit of those times—as if the vase itself were a conversation between structural discipline and artistic freedom.For interior arrangement, this vase can be displayed on a low wooden or marble console, where the black gloss and white detailing will stand out in natural light. It may be paired with other mid-century modern objects—ceramic vessels with pared-down forms, colored art glass, or graphic op-art prints. In minimalist or eclectic interiors, the vase will serve as a strong, singular accent—either holding a single branch or as a standalone sculptural object.
