Lívia Gorka Decorative Ceramic Bowl, Hungary ca 1960s
By Livia Gorka
Located in Budapest, HU
Munkácsy Mihály Prize-winning Hungarian ceramicist, worthy artist, and daughter of Géza Gorka, Gorka Lívia is one of the most renowned Hungarian ceramists. Her present work is a highly distinctive piece even if measured against her own exceptional repertoire.
In 1947, Lívia Gorka passed her master's exam in pottery. Her master was his father, Géza Gorka. As an independent, self-employed artist, se worked in the Gorka workshop in Verőce until 1959, and had created in her own studio after that. The source of her art has always been nature, and as such, her typical objects (if we can discuss typical at all in her case) are large, asymmetrical vessels, idols, fish, birds, and stones. Gorka preferred creating unique objects and to think in series and groups of objects. She worked with high-fired, custom-made materials such as stone, oxide clay glazes, and often combined clay with metal. The colours of her works have a strong plastic effect and are generally quite restrained. This handmade piece reflects her minimalistic and timeless language of forms that appears in every inch of this bowl that is in the field between art, design, and handicraft. The colours are spectacular, the black glazed outside harbours a medley of shapes and colours on the inside. This glazed, geometrically decorated piece has an unusual, modern shape with a hollow opening on top. The bright orange line traces the shape to the hollow opening towards the top and articulates the unusual angle at which the bowl stands. Lívia Gorka was able to step out of her father's shadow and create her own style with her ceramics. A true artist who always worked with craft techniques, she also developed her own technique for making the glaze, so her works, like this bowl, always represent a recognizable, unique world of shapes and colours.
Gorka was a master of these subtleties that established her one-of-a-kind visual language that is still coveted not just in her native Hungary, but all around the world among ceramic enthusiasts and collectors. Thanks to this, it can easily be placed in both a vintage or contemporary interior and is sure to stand out from its surroundings.
About the designer:
Gorka Lívia (Nógrádverőce March 5, 1925 – Diszel, August 4, 2011) Mihály Munkácsy Prize-winning Hungarian ceramicist, a distinguished artist. Daughter of Géza Gorka.
She was born in Nógrádverőce to Géza Gorka and Irén Kovács. She received her professional and artistic training in her father's workshop. She got used to serious work when he was six or eight years old, as she worked in his father's workshop during school breaks...

Antique and Vintage Ceramics
Whether you’re adding an eye-catching mid-century modern glazed stoneware bowl to your dining table or grouping a collection of decorative plates by color for the shelving in your living room, decorating and entertaining with antique and vintage ceramics is a great way to introduce provocative pops of colors and textures to a space or family meals.
Ceramics, which includes pottery such as earthenware and stoneware, has had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world for thousands of years. When people began to populate permanent settlements during the Neolithic era, which saw the rapid growth of agriculture and farming, clay-based ceramics were fired in underground kilns and played a greater role as important containers for dry goods, water, art objects and more.
Today, if an Art Deco floor vase, adorned in bright polychrome glazed colors with flowers and geometric patterns, isn’t your speed, maybe minimalist ceramics can help you design a room that’s both timeless and of the moment. Mixing and matching can invite conversation and bring spirited contrasts to your outdoor dining area. The natural-world details enameled on an Art Nouveau vase might pair well with the sleek simplicity of a modern serving bowl, for example.
In your kitchen, your cabinets are likely filled with ceramic dinner plates. You’re probably serving daily meals on stoneware dishes or durable sets of porcelain or bone china, while decorative ceramic dishes may be on display in your dining room. Perhaps you’ve anchored a group of smaller pottery pieces on your mantelpiece with some taller vases and vessels, or a console table in your living room is home to an earthenware bowl with a decorative seasonal collection of leaves, greenery and acorns.
Regardless of your tastes, however, it’s possible that ceramics are already in use all over your home and outdoor space. If not, why? Whatever your needs may be, find a wide range of antique and vintage ceramics on 1stDibs.
