ABOUT PRODUCTID 23597
The 'Kropla' vase is a design by Zbigniewa Śliwowska-Wawrzyniak, produced in the Wałbrzych Porcelain Factory in Poland in the 1950s. Its distinctive, organic silhouette evokes the image of a droplet in motion: a narrow base expands into a generous middle, then tapers upward into a dynamic, curved tip. Crafted from hand-painted porcelain with a smooth, glossy glaze, the vase is rendered in a cool, medium-saturated blue with marbled effects and subtle hints of violet. The high-gloss finish creates a glass-like appearance, while the absence of visible seams or handles emphasizes the minimalist, sculptural aesthetic characteristic of mid-century modern design. Condition: very good, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This vase speaks in the language of the 1950s—a time when Polish design explored new modernity through organic forms and fluid lines. Its blue, marbled surface conjures the image of a rain-washed sky or the calm surface of a lake at dawn. The glossy finish catches and reflects light, creating delicate highlights and giving the impression of gentle movement, as if the porcelain were capturing the fleeting gesture of a falling drop.The vase can be displayed on a light wood sideboard or a marble surface—its colors harmonize beautifully with neutral backgrounds and furniture inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics. It would pair well with minimalist accents: a single branch, muted green glass, or a matte ceramic bowl. It is suited both to restrained, modernist interiors and to eclectic collector's spaces, where each detail contributes to a carefully curated narrative.
