Low wide-mouthed VASE in dark orange by István Gádor

A striking ceramic piece by István Gádor (1891–1984), celebrated as the founder of modern Hungarian ceramics. This low, wide-mouthed vase in a deep burnt-orange glaze reflects Gádor’s unique ability to merge sculptural presence with functional form.
Gádor’s career spanned decades, evolving from grotesque animal figures to folk-inspired, organic vessels, and later to more abstract, modernist explorations. His mastery lay in balancing simplicity with depth, creating objects that feel both timelessly practical and artistically elevated.
This vase embodies his philosophy: an everyday form transformed into an object of quiet strength, marked by a warm, fiery hue that resonates with his lifelong exploration of material, tradition, and modernity.
