Vintage Hand Painted Hungarian Folk Pottery Black & Floral Vase

$65.00

This vintage Hungarian folk pottery vase captures the enduring spirit of Central European decorative arts. Hand-painted in vibrant strokes of red, green, white, and yellow against a glossy black ground, its floral motifs echo the traditional designs of Kalocsa and Matyó heritage pottery. Stamped “Made in Hungary” on the base, this piece represents the wave of postwar folk ceramics exported throughout Europe and North America during the mid-20th century.

For collectors, these vases are prized not only for their lively brushwork and individuality — no two are quite alike — but also for their role as cultural ambassadors during a period when Hungarian crafts were promoted on the global stage. Today, they stand as tangible records of both folk tradition and Cold War–era trade, making them increasingly sought after in vintage and folk art circles.
