This small ceramic vase from 1960s Czechoslovakia encapsulates the essence of mid-century modern design as interpreted in Central Europe. The compact cylindrical body is finished in a warm, light brown satin-matte glaze, with subtle tonal variations that lend it a natural, earthy feel. The most distinctive feature is the double, undulating collar near the opening, which creates a sculptural, organic silhouette reminiscent of biomorphic forms from the period. The interior of the vase is glazed in a glossy white, offering a striking contrast to the matte exterior. The proportions are compact, with a gently flared base. There are no visible signs of damage or restoration; the vase is preserved in very good vintage condition.This vase speaks with the quiet voice of the 1960s, when Czechoslovak ceramics drew inspiration from the organic world and the tactile possibilities of hand-shaped clay. The rippling collar and earthy glaze recall a fascination with natural forms and the subtle expressiveness of everyday design. The smooth surface and interplay between glossy interior and matte exterior evoke morning light playing off a simple earthenware bowl—a modest yet expressive gesture that bridges function and artistry.The vase would suit a mid-century modern living room, where it could be paired with light wood furniture, geometric ceramics, or glass accents. It is well placed on a low sideboard, next to a minimalist lamp or among period graphics. It can hold a single branch or dried grasses, but is equally compelling as a standalone accent in a collector’s interior arrangement.
