Géza Gorka Losonczi BOWL - Iparművészeti Vállalat Edition _ 1302

This ceramic bowl, designed by Géza Gorka and produced by the Iparművészeti Vállalat, showcases a distinctive interplay of texture and form characteristic of Hungarian mid-century applied arts.
The exterior is finished in a graphite-grey glaze, grounding the piece with a strong, understated presence. In contrast, the interior reveals a richly textured, three-dimensional surface in grey-green-teal tones, animated by the Losonczi floral motif. The raised glaze creates a tactile, almost geological effect, reminiscent of cracked earth or organic growth patterns.
Marked with a jury number (41940) and original pricing (95 HUF), this piece reflects the state-regulated system of quality control and design validation in socialist-era Hungary.
Géza Gorka (1894-1971) played a key role in bridging studio ceramics and industrial production, bringing expressive, artist-led design into everyday objects. Despite series production, each bowl remains unique due to hand-applied glazes and firing variations.
A collectible piece with strong sculptural and material character, both functional and deeply rooted in Hungary’s design heritage.
