ABOUT PRODUCTID 20447
This vase, produced by the Steatyt porcelain factory in Katowice around 1960, embodies the avant-garde spirit of Polish mid-century design. Made of ivory-white porcelain with a distinctly textured, matte finish reminiscent of hammered ceramic, its surface is adorned with flowing, asymmetrical lines in metallic gold and deep burgundy, accented by touches of pastel green. The form is dynamic and sculptural, featuring a dramatic openwork void at the center and undulating, irregular edges—hallmarks of 1960s modernism and pop art influences. The glazed porcelain is applied only to the colored areas, while the primary surface remains matte and tactile. The base is slightly flared for stability, supporting the sweeping, vertical silhouette, and the construction is seamless, with no visible joints or hardware. The vase remains in very good condition, showing no chips, cracks, or signs of restoration.This vessel speaks in the language of an era that embraced bold artistic experimentation and redefined the boundaries of functional objects. Its organic, almost futuristic contour tells the story of a time when Polish design explored abstraction and the plasticity of material, while pop art references disrupted the postwar visual order. The matte porcelain softly refracts light, and the gold and burgundy lines introduce a rhythmic movement; the central aperture invites a play of light and shadow, as if capturing a suspended moment between art and utility.The vase could be displayed on a light wood console or a glass
