ABOUT PRODUCTID 36955
This ashtray from the 1960s, produced by the Chodzież Porcelain and Porcelain Factory in Poland, exemplifies utilitarian Polish design at the intersection of tradition and modernism. The oval bowl, crafted from vitreous porcelain and finished with a glossy glaze in creamy beige with a soft peach undertone, features two seamlessly integrated cigarette rests. Its focal point is a stylized bird figurine perched on the rim, hand-painted in vibrant shades of red, yellow, and blue, with the colors softly blending into each other. The overall form is fluid and unified, with the bowl and bird forming a cohesive composition. The base bears the mark 'Chodzież, MADE IN POLAND,' confirming its authenticity and origin. The ashtray is preserved in excellent condition; the surface is smooth, free from damage, chips, or visible traces of use.This object resonates with the voice of 1960s Polish modernism, seeking a cheerful language between practicality and artistic freedom. The organic line of the vessel and the stylized bird seem to tell a story of everyday life deserving a touch of colorful playfulness. The hand-applied color gradients emphasize the individuality of each piece, as if each one were a small, ceramic tale about postwar optimism and the joy found in daily objects.The ashtray may serve as a miniature decorative sculpture on a sideboard, console, or coffee table—whether in a classically arranged living area or in eclectic, collector-focused interiors. It can be paired with other ceramic objects from the era or with modern accents—such as glass vases, minimalist trays in neutral tones, design books, or small potted plants that highlight its organic line. It is especially suited to mid-century modern spaces or interiors inspired by the Polish modernism of the 1960s.
