ABOUT PRODUCTID 23612
The 'kręgiel' porcelain vase from the 1950s, designed by Zofia Przybyszewska for the Wałbrzych Porcelain Factory, represents Polish mid-century modern design at its finest. Its slender, vertical silhouette with a narrow waist and gently flared rim evokes the shape of a bowling pin—dynamic yet minimalist.

The porcelain is smooth and highly reflective, accentuating the form’s clarity and lightness. The proportions are elegantly elongated, with a stable, slightly rounded base. The bottom bears the signature 'Wawel, made in Poland', confirming its authenticity. The vase is in very good condition, with original finish preserved, showing no signs of damage or restoration.This vase speaks with the voice of postwar Poland, when a new everyday aesthetic was emerging. Its simple yet subtly tense line recalls the drive towards lightness and freshness brought by the modernism of the 1950s.

It is an object that narrates a story of finding beauty in simplicity and experimenting with color—a time when design was becoming part of daily life.The 'kręgiel' vase can be displayed on a light wood sideboard or among other ceramics from the era to highlight its mid-century modern heritage. It works both as a stand-alone piece in a minimalist setting and in an eclectic arrangement, paired with textiles in cool hues or abstract-patterned graphics to accentuate the depth of the
