ABOUT PRODUCTID 30740
This small metal vase, enamelled and signed by the Silesia Rybnik manufactory, is a representative example of 1960s Polish design in the spirit of the New Look style. The vessel is evenly coated with a vivid, high-gloss red enamel, accented by dynamic, asymmetrical white stripes and curves that form a geometric, eye-catching pattern. The silhouette is bulbous with a narrow, slightly flared neck and a small opening, giving the piece a compact, modernist character typical of post-war modernism. The metal base is concealed beneath the enamel; the surface is smooth and uniform, with the signature confirming authenticity visible on the underside. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, free of chips, cracks, or signs of restoration.
This object seems to narrate the story of its own era: the 1960s, when Polish applied arts sought modern expression through simplified forms and bold colour palettes. The glossy red enamel evokes a dialogue with pop art and geometric abstraction, while the asymmetry of the white accents recalls the designers’ courage to experiment with dynamic compositions. The vase seems to whisper of a time when daily life took on a new rhythm—one marked by energy, exploration, and freshness.
The vase can be placed on a light wooden console, where its saturated colour will stand out against a neutral wall. It would also serve as a central accent on a shelf with other mid-century modern or pop-art pieces, creating a visual dialogue with black-and-white graphics or opalescent glass. It would work well in eclectic or collector’s interiors, where vintage elements interact with the simplicity of contemporary forms and geometric ornamentation is purposefully brought to the fore.
