Vase no. 232 is a design by Jan Sowiński, produced at the Włocławek Faience Factory in the 1950s. The sculptural, asymmetrical silhouette exemplifies post-war Polish modernism, with its dynamic, organic lines and flowing form. The vase is finished in a deep, cool turquoise glaze that shifts in tone, creating a watercolor effect across the surface. Hand-painted glossy white stripes and a bold spiral motif emphasize movement and fluidity, while the circular opening near the top serves both decorative and functional purposes. Crafted from glazed faience, the surface is smooth and glassy with a pronounced sheen. The proportions are slender and elegant, and there are no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration – all elements remain original. Condition: ideal, with no visible flaws or interventions.This form resonates with the energy of 1950s Polish modernism: the asymmetry and painterly freedom of the glaze tell of a time when post-war Poland sought its own voice in applied arts. The vase, like a small sculpture, seems to converse with its surroundings – the turquoise glaze and hand-painted white strokes express the courage of experimentation and the search for harmony between function and artistic expression. It subtly recalls an era when even everyday objects became carriers of artistic exploration and a fresh take on tradition.Vase no. 232 can be displayed as a soloist on a light wood sideboard or among a collection of mid-century ceramics. It works well against a neutral
