Pair of Vintage Porcelain Vases with Cobalt Painting and Gilding, Polonne Art Ceramics Factory (Polonne ZHK)

Product Description:
A rare and incredibly aesthetic find for connoisseurs of Ukrainian porcelain! Offered here is a pair of vintage vases, crafted at the renowned Polonne Art Ceramics Factory (Polonne ZHK) during the 1970s and 1980s. Matching pieces always make a more striking visual impact in an interior, establishing perfect compositional symmetry and harmony.

The vases feature an elegant silhouette with a rounded body and a distinct, well-defined cylindrical neck. Their primary adornment is a luxurious hand-painted design, showcasing the classic combination of deep cobalt blue and liquid gold. Rich cobalt flowers come to life through delicate, intricate gold linework that traces every individual petal.
The undulating rims of the vases are finished with a solid gold border. While they share the same artistic motif, the hand-crafted nature of these pieces makes each vase unique—the brushstrokes and golden details vary slightly from one to the other. These items will serve as an exquisite accent for a mantelpiece, a chest of drawers, or a festive table, fitting perfectly into Mid-Century, Retro, Eclectic, or Modern Classic interior styles.
