ABOUT PRODUCTID 12263
This small ceramic vase from 1960s Czechoslovakia embodies mid-century modern aesthetics. Its design features a compact, slightly conical body with a narrow neck and a wider base. The lower two-thirds of the vase are finished in a soft, matte off-white with warm undertones, while the neck and rim are glazed in a glossy, deep charcoal black, creating a strong graphic contrast. The body is adorned with evenly spaced, horizontal incised lines that add a tactile texture and emphasize the handcrafted quality. The surface transitions smoothly from matte to glossy, enhancing the play of light across the form. The vase is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear.This piece echoes the voice of 1960s Czechoslovakia—a time when simple, functional forms carried the spirit of optimism and new modernity. Its geometric profile and bold color contrast reflect restraint paired with a willingness to experiment with material and detail. The subtle incised lines evoke a gentle rhythm of everyday life, while the transition from matte to gloss tells of the interplay between light and shadow, characteristic of ceramics from that era.The vase can be displayed on an oak console or minimalist shelf in the living room, where its modest scale allows it to be paired with other mid-century objects—bottle-green glass, cubist ceramics, or a black-framed graphic. It would work well as a solo accent against a pale wall, or as part of a curated group of vessels in similar tones, creating an intimate mid-century modern arrangement. It may also be combined with simple textiles or a plant with fine leaves to highlight its understated, geometric quality.
