Orange giraffe-shaped VASE by István Gádor

A playful yet refined piece by István Gádor (1891–1984), the pioneering figure of modern Hungarian ceramics. This orange giraffe-shaped vase reveals Gádor’s unique ability to merge sculptural imagination with everyday utility. Its elongated neck and stylized form echo his interest in organic, animal-inspired motifs, while the warm glaze emphasizes a sense of vitality and character.
Beyond its whimsical silhouette, the vase embodies Gádor’s philosophy: to bring art into daily life through objects that are both functional and expressive. Today, such pieces stand as rare and cherished examples of his creative legacy, celebrating the bridge between folk sensibility and modernist design.
