Géza Gorka teal dove - Iparművészeti Vállalat Edition _ 1274

This teal dove form, designed by Géza Gorka, was produced by Iparművészeti Vállalat in handcrafted series. The body features a textured, dimensional glaze in turquoise, while the interior is finished in deep graphite.
The dove motif - a recurring symbol of peace and gentleness - reflects Gorka’s sensitivity to simplified animal forms. Minor surface wear is present, consistent with age and vintage condition, adding authenticity to the piece.
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. This piece embodies that synthesis - collectible and deeply rooted in Hungary’s postwar applied arts heritage - a sculptural object that functions equally as a bowl or as a decorative ceramic form designed for everyday interiors.
