ABOUT PRODUCTID 36912
This vase from Ćmielów, produced in 1957, encapsulates the essence of Polish New Look and 1950s modernism. Created at the renowned Ćmielów Porcelain Factory, an icon of Polish industrial design, the piece captivates with its tall, slender silhouette and dynamically tapering profile. Its most distinctive feature is the oval opening at the base, which visually lightens the porcelain and lends the form an architectural sense of airiness. The vase is crafted from high-quality glazed white porcelain, adorned with vertical fluting and hand-applied overglaze decoration in deep white and warm reddish-brown tones. The underside bears the original factory mark and form and decoration numbers. The condition is very good—the porcelain retains its full structure, gloss, and clear decoration, with no damage or losses.This vase evokes the spirit of Poland’s cultural thaw of the 1950s, when ceramics boldly experimented with sculptural forms and abstract decoration. Its dynamic outline, broken by the perforation, carries the energy of an emerging modernity—speaking of an era when traditional craftsmanship gave way to avant-garde and architectural synthesis. The smooth, glossy surface reflects light, while the balanced proportions recall the excitement of new possibilities in applied art.The vase can be paired with other examples of 1950s Polish design or minimalist accessories to highlight its sculptural character. It works well in a living room on a light wood sideboard, surrounded by geometric prints or simple mid-century modern forms. It may also be combined with transparent glass or metal objects to enhance its modernist lightness. Collectors’ interiors, eclectic, or contemporary spaces will allow it to serve as a central decorative accent.
