ABOUT PRODUCTID 14726
This cylindrical IFAT90 vase, produced by the Mirostowice Ceramic Works in the late 1970s, exemplifies the utilitarian minimalism of Eastern Bloc design. Crafted from vitrified stoneware (porcelite), the piece features a warm, light ochre-brown tone with a subtle speckled pattern, adding natural depth and structure to the matte, slightly satin-finished surface. Its form is strictly geometric—no handles or decorative accents—highlighted by a distinctly rounded, solid base that forms a visible ring at the bottom. The factory-finished edges are even and precise, and the surface is smooth, unified, and free from cracks or chips. The vase measures 15 cm in height, with a diameter of 7 cm, a 6 cm mouth opening, and weighs 480 grams. It has been preserved in ideal condition, showing no signs of wear, restoration, or damage. The shape and materiality of this vase echo the spirit of the late 1970s, when Polish designers gravitated toward austere geometry, clarity of line, and a functional, material-driven aesthetic. Its restrained silhouette and uniform color seem to reflect an era that valued objects as subtle, grounded anchors in the domestic setting; the absence of ornament and the disciplined use of stoneware narrate a story of everyday utility elevated to understated visual poetry. In this simplicity, the vase offers a quiet testimony to the era’s preference for honest, durable, and unassuming beauty. This vase may be paired with other geometric pieces—such as period ceramics or clear glass—to create an orderly arrangement on a shelf, sill, or
