Géza Gorka VASE - Iparművészeti Vállalat Edition _ 1287

This footed vase, designed by Géza Gorka and produced by the Iparművészeti Vállalat, is defined by its distinctive three-dimensional glaze surface. The smooth yet deeply textured finish evokes dried earth - cracked, organic, and tactile, while remaining structurally intact.
The elevated base adds a subtle architectural presence, balancing the mass of the body. The glaze carries slight variations in tone and texture, a result of hand-finishing and firing, making each piece unique.
Gorka (1894-1971) was one of the most influential Hungarian ceramic artists of the 20th century, bridging studio craft and applied arts production. His designs brought expressive ceramic forms into everyday use.
This example shows minor wear and small damage consistent with its age.
