Vintage Vase “Propeller” by Jan Kotík – A design object takes off

Jan Kotík's Propeller Vase is no ordinary vase. It is a sculptural statement, a homage to movement, wind, and modernity. Its characteristic "wings" or propeller elements make it a dynamic eye-catcher – even when standing completely still. At times it looks like a futuristic flying object from the 1950s, at others like a poetic dance frozen in ceramic.

From Prague to Berlin – an object with history

Jan Kotík, son of the legendary avant-garde painter Pravoslav Kotík, was himself a cross-border artist between art and design. Born in Prague in 1916, he emigrated to Berlin after World War II, where he experimented not only with the brush but also with formal language. The Propeller Vase was created in the late 1950s or early 1960s—a time when form and function entered into an artistic liaison.

From everyday object to cult classic

In practice? Of course, you can put flowers in it—but that would be almost too banal. This vase is more of a conversation starter, a collector's item, a gem for anyone who loves midcentury and breathes design history. It's now part of international collections and is hotly traded at auctions. Propeller vase? More like a design rocket. For anyone who doesn't just decorate their interior, but curates it.
