ABOUT PRODUCTID 42030
This ikebana vase, designed by Wiesława Gołajewska in 1963 for the Pruszków Porcelain Stoneware Factory, represents a distinctive chapter in 1960s Polish design. Crafted from porcelain stoneware in a warm, off-white tone with a subtle creamy hue, it features an asymmetrical, sculptural silhouette: the wide, open top curves upward on two sides, lending the piece a dynamic, organic presence. The surface is finished with a glossy, running glaze—an innovative technique developed by the artist—that creates a delicate, tactile texture of small, irregular dimples and raised dots. The body is seamless, with no visible joints or handles, and the base is slightly narrower than the opening, ensuring stability. The design is rooted in the 'New Look' and modernist minimalism, with the PRUSZKÓW / MADE IN POLAND signature confirming its provenance. The condition is excellent—no visible chips, cracks, or traces of wear.The vase tells the story of the 1960s, when Polish ceramics embraced modern forms and experimental finishes. It embodies the spirit of an era where modernism met organic softness, and innovation was expressed through techniques like the running glaze, which captures and diffuses light across its surface. With its absence of decorative excess, the vase stands at the intersection
