Géza Gorka Pinguin SCULPTURE - Iparművészeti Vállalat Edition _ 1279

This grey penguin figurine, designed by Géza Gorka and produced by Iparművészeti Vállalat, showcases a richly textured, dimensional glaze surface.
Gorka’s animal figures are celebrated for their balance between stylization and character - simplified forms that retain emotional presence. The sculptural massing and tactile surface create a strong yet approachable object.
Produced in series yet finished by hand, each figurine carries subtle individuality. A charming and collectible example of Hungarian mid-century ceramic design, reflecting Gorka’s lasting influence on animal-themed studio and applied ceramics.
Géza Gorka (1894-1971) was one of the most influential Hungarian ceramic artists of the 20th century. His work bridged studio craftsmanship and state-supported applied arts production, bringing artistic ceramic design into broader public circulation.
