ABOUT PRODUCTID 1839
This tall vase, designed by Wiesława Gołajewska in 1963 for the Pruszków Stoneware Factory, embodies the spirit of Polish modernism of the 1960s. Crafted in stoneware and finished in a warm ivory tone, its surface is distinguished by a sculptural, tactile texture achieved through Gołajewska’s signature 'running glaze' technique. The irregular, glossy droplets and lines create a dynamic pattern, allowing light to play across its surface and lending the vessel a sense of organic depth. The form is modernist—gently flaring, asymmetrical at the rim, and conical, widening towards the base. The silhouette is compact, the proportions carefully balanced, with seamless transitions and a harmonious profile. The vase remains in excellent condition, free from visible damage or signs of wear. This piece echoes the era of its creation: the Polish 'New Look' period, marked by a search for new aesthetic languages and a willingness to treat utilitarian objects as vehicles for artistic experimentation. Its textured surface tells a story of dialogue between skilled craftsmanship and intuitive creation—the running glaze, frozen in motion, hints at nature’s processes, while the luminous white recalls the dawn of modernist interiors. The vase captures the boldness of the 1960s: a readiness to transcend the ordinary and infuse everyday objects
