ABOUT PRODUCTID 30730
This ceramic vase, produced by the Milenium Cooperative in Kraków, Poland, is a representative piece of 1960s Polish design in the 'New Look' style of the Polish People's Republic. Its tall, slender cylindrical form, gently tapering neck, and rounded lip evoke the aesthetic clarity of mid-century modernism. The dominant color is a deep, cool green in a glossy finish, complemented by expressive accents of burgundy and cream arranged in irregular, flame-like patterns. Vertical ribbed reliefs run along the vase, adding tactile and visual dimension, while the high-gloss glaze creates a vibrant, reflective surface with smooth transitions between colors. The ceramic is smooth to the touch and visually coherent, with the surface showing a single small chip at the base—a minor sign of age-related use, but not affecting the structural integrity. The overall condition is good, with the noted minor loss at the base. This vase echoes the spirit of the 1960s, when Polish ceramics embraced bold color contrasts and organic forms in search of a distinct, modern identity within the postwar Central European landscape. Its silhouette and multicolored glazing speak to an era of optimism, when everyday objects became canvases for artistic experiment. Each streak of color across the surface recalls the energy of the ceramic studio—a resonant artifact from a time when craft and art were in constant dialogue. In an interior, the vase can stand alone on a low, light-wood sideboard or create contrast on a concrete shelf, enhancing both organic and geometric qualities of a mid-century modern setting. It pairs well with other period objects: an olive-tinted glass dish, abstract art prints, or a lamp with a metal
