Orange rectangular ceramic VASE by János Polyák

A distinctive vintage ceramic object by Hungarian ceramist János Polyák, whose works reflect the postwar renewal of Hungarian applied arts. Trained within Hungary’s strong tradition of functional yet artistic ceramic design, Polyák combined sculptural form with everyday usability.
This small rectangular vase with two openings is a fine example of his approach: a clean, geometric shape softened by the tactile qualities of hand-crafted clay. The dual spouts add both playful asymmetry and practical versatility, making the piece suitable as a vessel or as a decorative form in its own right.
Part of Hungary’s broader 20th-century ceramic heritage, Polyák’s works embody the creative dialogue between tradition and modernist experimentation. Today, such pieces are valued not only as functional objects but also as enduring witnesses to a rich chapter of Central European design history.
