Large ceramic vase, ZMO Jaroszów, Poland, 1970s

A large porcelain vase comes from the Zakłady Materiałów Refractory in Jaroszów in the 1970s. It is a huge, heavy vase with a very simple, even brutalist form. The minimalist design harmonizes with the ascetic coloring: the glaze has a heterogeneous brown color, which in some places resembles the structure of wood. The edge is marked with a slightly darker, irregular stripe. Lime free interior. No chipping or cracking. Vase signed at the base.
