ABOUT PRODUCTID 36919
This porcelain vase, produced by the 'Karolina' Tableware Factory in Jaworzyna Śląska in the 1960s, represents the Polish modernist approach to decorative arts. The vase is crafted from high-quality porcelain with a deep, cool-toned red glaze applied by spray, creating a saturated and glossy surface. Its decoration features hand-painted, irregular vertical white lines and small, abstract dots—distinctive motifs of the so-called 'Picasso' style, inspired by modern art and characteristic of Polish ceramics in the mid-20th century. The silhouette is gently faceted, with a narrow base broadening towards the shoulders and tapering at the rim, resulting in a modern, geometric profile. The porcelain remains in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of wear.The vase seems to speak in the voice of its era, a time when Polish ceramics sought dialogue with global trends in modernism and abstraction. Its smooth, glossy surface catches the light, while the expressive, irregular lines and dots evoke the painterly gesture of artistic freedom—an object telling the story of a search for new forms and bold colour. The geometric silhouette and striking hue serve as a testament to a period when functional objects became small manifestos of modernity.This vase can be paired with simple mid-century modern furniture or minimalist accents in contemporary interiors. It will make a statement as a solo piece on a light wood sideboard, but will also complement other 'Picasso' ceramics or organically shaped pieces in neutral palettes. The graphic quality of the decoration is best revealed in eclectic collector's interiors or spaces with modernist simplicity—display the vase where natural light can highlight the glossy glaze and hand-painted details.Height: 24 cm, diameter: 12 cm. Porcelain with a smooth, glossy finish and hand-painted decoration.
