ABOUT PRODUCTID 20429
The 'Kropla' vase from the Steatyt manufactory in Katowice, dating to the 1960s, is crafted from matte white porcelain with a subtly textured, pebbled surface. Its sculptural, asymmetrical form is inspired by the shape of a falling water droplet, with a slender, upward-curving silhouette punctuated by irregular, teardrop-shaped cutouts. Selected cutouts are highlighted with glossy gold on the interior, creating a striking contrast with the cool white porcelain and emphasizing the interplay of negative space. The edges are smooth and precise, and the gold accents are applied with care, reflecting the high standard of Polish craftsmanship from the mid-century era. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or restoration.This object tells the story of bold formal experimentation in the spirit of mid-century modern. The vase, echoing the creative pulse of 1960s Katowice, recalls a period when porcelain broke away from tradition in favor of a freer, almost organic expression. Matte white enlivened by flashes of gold evokes pop art influences and the artistic energy of postwar Poland—there is discipline in the craftsmanship here, but also a willingness to seek new meanings. The 'Kropla' vase seems to invite light inside and carries on a subtle dialogue between sculpture and function.It may be used as a standalone accent on a sideboard or console
