Vintage Hyalyn Pink Ceramic Footed Centerpiece Mid Century Modern Oval Bowl Planter Atomic Era Pastel Home Decor

Identification & Description
This is a vintage Hyalyn Porcelain footed centerpiece in a soft matte pink glaze, produced in the mid-20th century, likely ca. 1950s–1960s. Hyalyn Porcelain Company, founded in 1947 in Hickory, North Carolina, was known for high-quality slip-cast porcelain and matte-glazed modernist forms.

The piece is oval in shape, raised on three small cylindrical feet, with clean, minimalist lines characteristic of the Atomic/Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. The unadorned surface and pastel tone reflect mid-century trends toward Scandinavian-inspired simplicity.

Historical Significance
Hyalyn was one of the few American porcelain manufacturers to specialize in modernist matte glazes during the post-war design boom. Many of their forms were designed by notable artists and potters, including Eva Zeisel, and were distributed in high-end department stores. Pink matte glaze was a fashionable interior accent in the 1950s, complementing chrome, walnut, and Formica furnishings in modern homes.
