This porcelain vase from the 1960s, produced by the Ćmielów-Chodzież porcelain factory in Poland, is an articulate representation of Polish mid-century modern design. Standing 18 cm tall with a diameter of 12.5 cm, the vase features a vivid, glossy red glaze as its dominant surface. The decoration consists of hand-applied, vertical wavy stripes in white and gold—executed using painting and sgraffito techniques—which impart a sense of lightness and movement to the composition. Gold accents, including a delicate band at the rim, further emphasize the vessel’s lines. Its form is classic: a rounded body tapering gracefully toward the base, with a subtly flared neck. The original Ćmielów Chodzież mark and impressed stamp are present on the underside, confirming authenticity. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, showing no visible signs of damage or wear. This piece carries the spirit of 1960s Poland—a time when bold color and geometric discipline met the finesse of handcraft. The red sheen reflects an era in which applied arts aspired not only to function but to assert visual presence. Gold lines and white waves trace a record of movement, as if the porcelain itself remembers the pulse of postwar modernist interiors. The form achieves a balance between the assertiveness of its color and the restrained elegance of its proportions. The vase may be displayed on a light wood or marble console, allowing the intense red and gilded details to stand out. It works well in collector’s or mid-century modern interiors, as well as minimalist spaces—a single branch or the empty vessel alone is sufficient to highlight its sculptural quality. Paired with neutral-toned ceramics or vintage glass, the vase reveals a wealth of textures and hues, offering a measured focal point within the room.
