This ceramic vase from 1960s Czechoslovakia embodies the essence of mid-century modern design. Its flared, conical silhouette features gently outward-sloping sides, defined by balanced proportions and a minimalist profile. The exterior presents a cool, muted grey with subtle brown undertones, accentuated by evenly spaced horizontal ridges that create a tactile, ribbed texture. The finish is matte to satin on the outside, while the interior is coated in a deep, glossy black glaze, with a clearly defined transition at the rim. The vase shows no signs of chips, cracks, or wear – the glaze remains even and well-preserved, confirming its very good condition.The form resonates with the quiet voice of the 1960s: geometric simplicity and function paired with a restrained, subdued palette. This vase seems to tell the story of an era when everyday objects softened the pace of modern life, and the rhythmic grooves evoke the order and harmony characteristic of Central European modernist interiors. The interplay of matte grey and lustrous black creates the impression of hidden depth, capturing and reflecting light differently throughout the day.The vase can be displayed on a low wooden sideboard or a stone windowsill, where its simple form stands out against a neutral backdrop. It would work well in mid-century modern interiors, but could also be combined in more eclectic arrangements alongside matte ceramics or muted glassware. Pairing it with a single branch would highlight its minimalist spirit, or grouping it with other geometric objects could create a refined, collector’s accent in a living room.
