The 'Pień' (Trunk) vase, designed by Danuta Duszniak in 1960 for the Chodzież Porcelain and Porcelain Factory (part of Ćmielów), stands out for its sculptural, biomorphic form inspired by the organic shapes of a tree trunk or branching limb. The upward-sweeping, asymmetrical arms and hollow center create a bold silhouette characteristic of Polish mid-century modernism. Its surface is finished in a creamy, glazed porcelain that catches and reflects light, while a minimalist decoration of hand-painted black lines – irregular, vertical, and diagonal – evokes the grain of wood or the movement of water, lending a dynamic, modernist accent. The proportions are expressive: a stable, flared base and elegantly curved arms. The vase is signed on the underside with the manufacturer's mark, confirming its authenticity. It is preserved in very good condition, without visible damage, chips, or restoration.This vase tells the story of Polish modernism, where abstraction and nature found a common language. Its trunk-like, time-carved form seems to speak of both strength and delicacy – a reminder of how 1960s design approached the natural world with both restraint and modernist freedom. The interplay of black lines on the creamy surface is a quiet dialogue between geometry and organic inspiration, as if capturing the moment when tradition meets the spirit of innovation.The 'Pień' vase can be paired with other period objects – it works beautifully on a light wood console
