Story
During the mid-20th century, a global 'Folk Revival' sparked a massive interest in traditional woodcrafts as people looked for warmth and soul to counter the cold lines of industrial modernism.
Maker / Origin
While this piece lacks a formal signature, it is consistent with the 'Zakopane' style of Poland or similar regional folk workshops that flourished between 1940 and 1970.
Condition & Value
The vase appears to be in good vintage condition with a well-preserved lacquer finish. Quick ID could not verify a named-artist market here, so this is intentionally priced like decorative/local-sale art.
