This large ceramic vase from Belgium, dating to the 1960s, exemplifies the mid-century modern aesthetic. Its ovoid, slightly pear-shaped body is complemented by a narrow cylindrical neck and a subtly flared rim. The surface is coated with a turquoise-green, glossy glaze of medium saturation, imparting a cool and vivid character. An intricate, raised relief pattern reminiscent of abstract botanical or organic motifs covers the entire exterior, intermittently revealing the beige ceramic beneath and creating a dynamic contrast of textures. The base remains unglazed, showcasing the natural material. The vase is signed, and the subtle irregularities in the relief and glaze suggest it was hand-crafted. The overall condition is very good, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of restoration. In its form and color, the vase captures the voice of the 1960s, a period when Belgian ceramic studios embraced organic lines and expressive glazes to infuse everyday objects with a sense of freshness and modernity. The glossy, almost glass-like surface reflects light, while the relief decoration evokes the rhythm of nature—suggesting a story of movement and structure told through clay. The piece seems to echo a time when artistic experimentation intertwined with utility, resulting in objects ready for the open, optimistic interiors of the postwar era. In an interior, this vase could be placed atop a low, light-wood sideboard or a 1960s-style console, allowing the turquoise hue to enliven the arrangement. It may be paired with other matte-finished vessels or minimalist ceramics to emphasize the contrast of textures. The vase also works well as a stand-alone, sculptural accent—displayed with a single branch or left empty. Spaces in the spirit of mid-century modern, eclectic living rooms, or collectors' studies provide a fitting setting for such a piece.
