Kravsko Czechoslovak Floral Butterfly Ceramic Vase

Bold, graphic and unmistakably mid-century Eastern European, this Kravsko vase is a striking example of Czechoslovak ceramic design at its most decoratively confident, with the kind of vivid colour and strong graphic presence that makes it a natural focal point in any display.

Produced by Kravsko, this tall cylindrical vase with a flared neck features a bold black ground decorated with hand-painted flowers, foliage and orange butterfly motifs, with white and red border detail. The strong graphic quality and vivid colour palette give it a commanding display presence, suited to collectors of Czechoslovak ceramics, floral studio pottery and colourful vintage display pieces. Kravsko ceramics are increasingly appreciated by collectors of mid-century Eastern European decorative arts, and the black-ground floral format is one of the most sought-after in the Kravsko range. The butterfly motif adds a particularly lively and distinctive accent to the floral composition, and the tall cylindrical form gives the piece a strong vertical presence that works well in both standalone and grouped displays. This example is in visible condition as shown in the images.
