Géza Gorka Losonczi DISH - Iparművészeti Vállalat Edition _ 1309

This elongated ceramic dish, designed by Géza Gorka and produced by the Iparművészeti Vállalat, embodies the refined balance between artistic intent and everyday usability characteristic of Hungarian mid-century ceramics.
The dish stands on small feet, giving it a light, elevated profile. Its graphite-glazed exterior contrasts with the interior’s neutral and teal, crackle-effect surface, decorated with graphite floral motifs in the Losonczi style. The interplay of textures and tones creates a dynamic yet harmonious composition.
As with many pieces from this period, subtle variations in glaze and finish make each example unique. This particular piece shows small signs of wear consistent with its age, adding to its authenticity and lived history.
Designed by Géza Gorka, whose work bridged folk tradition and modern design, this dish reflects the broader cultural context of postwar Hungary, where applied arts production brought thoughtfully designed objects into everyday homes.
A characterful and collectible object, both functional and expressive, carrying the traces of time and craftsmanship.
