The tall ceramic vase 'Folk Modernism – Carpathians' is an expressive example of 1960s design, blending Carpathian folk motifs with the aesthetics of mid-century modernism. Its form is bulbous and slender, with a subtly flared neck and a stable, rounded base. The dominant color is a matte ochre with earthy brown tones, emphasizing the natural quality of the ceramic. The surface alternates between smooth and intentionally rough, textured sections, highlighting the hand-shaped character of the piece. The central decorative accent is a raised, enamelled 'dziewięćsił' (Carlina acaulis) motif—a traditional highlander symbol—glazed in glossy white, green, and brown hues that contrast vividly with the matte background. The vase's interior is finished with a glassy enamel, ensuring practicality and full usability. Its construction is robust, with visible artisanal details. The overall condition is very good, featuring authentic patina and minor, natural glaze and texture irregularities, with no signs of damage or restoration.This vase tells the story of a meeting between two worlds: the rustic simplicity of the Carpathians and the bold, modernist approach to form. Its matte ochre surface evokes the rawness of mountain landscapes, while the hand-molded textures echo the daily gestures of a craftsman, giving the ceramic a unique identity. The nine-star motif emerges like a relic from folk legends, gleaming against the calm matte body—a quiet reminder of deep-rooted
