ABOUT PRODUCTID 19208
This porcelain ashtray from the 'The Cards' series, produced by Ćmielów in the 1960s, exemplifies the modernist sensibility of Polish mid-century applied arts. Measuring 9 x 9 cm, it is crafted from glossy white porcelain with hand-painted decorations: stylized card suits at the center—heart and diamond in vibrant red, spade and club in deep black, the latter rendered as three joined circles. Rich black borders and high-gloss gold accents, applied over the glaze at the corners and rim, frame the square shape. The gently upturned corners and smooth, reflective finish are characteristic of the geometric forms and bold contrasts popular in 1960s Polish design. The manufacturer's mark on the base ensures authenticity. Condition is very good—vivid gilding and painted motifs, free from visible damage, cracks, or restoration.This ashtray carries the optimistic spirit of the 1960s, when Polish modernism found expression in everyday objects. Its square silhouette and crisp, graphic motifs suggest the promise of convivial games, while the gilded branch-like line brings dynamic visual movement. The lustrous porcelain reflects ambient light with the clarity of a table set for a social gathering, and the vivid color palette evokes a love of bold visual statements—a hallmark of an era when craft and design
