Ceramic Flask-Shaped Vase – Romantic Scene

Charming vintage flask-shaped ceramic vase, produced in Poland in the mid-20th century. The elegant white body is accented with delicate relief ornamentation and gold-painted twin handles. At its center, it features a romantic medallion with a finely detailed scene of a courting couple in a garden. The vase stands on a round base and has a gently flared neck, making it both decorative and collectible.

The central image is a classic example of the “Wiener Liebe” (Viennese Love) motif—an iconic romantic scene popular on Polish porcelain from the 1960s and 1970s. Inspired by 18th- and 19th-century Viennese aesthetics, it typically features finely dressed couples in idyllic, garden-like settings. This nostalgic pattern became a hallmark of mid-century decorative porcelain in factories like Chodzież, Wałbrzych, and Ćmielów, and remains cherished by collectors today. 

A decorative and romantic piece of Polish ceramics craftsmanship, likely dating from the mid-20th century, evoking the tradition of classic European porcelain with a nostalgic, decorative flair.
