ABOUT PRODUCTID 36659
The 'Kropla' vase was designed by Zbigniewa Śliwowska-Wawrzyniak in the 1950s for the Wawel Porcelain Factory in Wałbrzych. Its construction is based on a striking, organic teardrop shape, featuring a distinctive, asymmetrical upward curve. Crafted from porcelain, the vase is coated in a vibrant orange glaze with a glossy finish. Two vertical accent stripes—one white and one silver—run along the body, emphasizing the vase's slender, elongated form. The base is subtly rounded, and the piece is seamless, without handles or visible joints, retaining a cohesive mid-century modern aesthetic. The condition is described as very good, with no visible chips, cracks, or signs of restoration.This porcelain 'Kropla' speaks in the voice of 1950s Polish modernism—combining the optimism of postwar reconstruction with a fascination for contemporary design. Its dynamic, fluid silhouette tells of a longing for lightness and expression, while the contrasting stripes echo an era that sought balance between geometry and organic softness. The orange glaze captures and reflects light, creating subtle highlights on the surface—a reminder of a time when everyday objects were elevated to sculptural status.The vase can be displayed on a light wood sideboard or a minimalist shelf, allowing its color and form to stand out against a neutral background. It can be paired with other mid-century objects—amber-hued glass, ceramics with clean lines, or abstract graphics. It would work well in mid-century modern interiors as well as in contemporary, eclectic spaces where a single, vivid accent helps to define the narrative of the room.Height: 26 cm. Diameter: 11 cm.
