ABOUT PRODUCTID 23626
This porcelain vase, designed by Ludmiła Pokornianka and produced in Wałbrzych around 1960, features a slender, tall silhouette with a gently flared rim and rounded body. Characteristic of the New Look and mid-century modern styles, it is crafted from smooth porcelain in a deep, glossy burgundy shade. The surface is adorned with a dynamic, abstract network of thin white lines, created using spray selection and hand-painted overglaze techniques. Its proportions are harmonious, with a narrow base flowing into broad shoulders and tapering gracefully towards the neck. The vase is marked beneath with a green underglaze stamp 'W / Wałbrzych / Made in Poland' and a hand-painted black mark. No additional hardware is present; the construction is seamless, exemplifying the high-quality porcelain craftsmanship of the 1960s. Preserved in very good condition, it shows no signs of damage or restoration.This vase tells the story of the 1960s—a decade when Polish porcelain sought a bold, modern expression. The distinctive network of white lines recalls the era’s graphic experiments, while the lustrous burgundy color evokes the avant-garde palettes of mid-century interiors. Its form is both modern and dynamic, as if the porcelain captures the energy and optimism of a time marked by transformation. The tall, refined shape suggests movement and lightness, while the geometric decoration hints that even an everyday object can become an artistic statement.The vase can be used as a striking focal point in a mid-century modern living room or an eclectic collector’s interior. It would work well placed solo on a low, light wood sideboard, where its sheen and graphic pattern draw the eye. It may be paired with ceramics of simple form or glass in neutral tones to highlight its vintage pedigree. Surrounded by minimalist furniture and understated textiles, the vase brings a touch of history and graphic rhythm to contemporary spaces.
