This wall vase from the Steatyt porcelain factory in Katowice, dating to around 1960, exemplifies Polish decorative craftsmanship of the mid-century modern era. The vessel is made from glazed porcelain, featuring a smooth, highly glossy surface. The primary color is a deep, cool green, complemented by lustrous white accents and thin, hand-painted gold lines. The vase's form is sculptural, dynamic, and asymmetrical, with sweeping curves and pronounced pointed tips. There are no visible construction joints, and the edges are sharply defined, highlighting the precision of its execution. The overall condition is very good—the glaze is even and flawless, the gold detailing is intact, and there are no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear.This vase echoes the spirit of the 1960s, when Polish applied arts drew inspiration from bold organic motifs. Its dynamic form seems to narrate a search for harmony between movement and tranquility, evoking botanical influences and abstract lines typical of the era’s fascination with nature and modernity. The gold accents, shimmering delicately against the green porcelain, recall the period’s tendency toward subtle ornamentation and refined detail.Such a wall vase can be displayed against a light, neutral background—on a living room or hallway wall—where its colors and contours will stand out. It would suit mid-century modern interiors, among natural wood furniture and simple-form accessories. Pairing it with other ceramics in contrasting but muted tones or with abstract graphic art may further highlight its artistic origins and lend the interior a collectors’ character.
