ABOUT PRODUCTID 4613
This ashtray, produced by the Chodzież Porcelain and Porcelain Factory in the early 1960s, exemplifies Polish artistic craftsmanship reinterpreting the decorative traditions of the 1930s through a modernist lens. Crafted from semi-porcelain, the oval bowl features gently sloping sides and two integrated cigarette rests. A hand-painted bird figurine with simplified, stylized lines is perched on the rim, becoming the focal point of the piece. The primary color of the bowl is a warm, creamy beige with a subtle peach hue and glossy finish, while the bird is airbrushed in a gradient of deep red, yellow, and vibrant blue, creating soft, seamless transitions between colors. The underside bears the factory mark, ‘Chodzież, MADE IN POLAND,’ attesting to its provenance and authenticity. The condition is very good: the surface is smooth and glossy, with no damage or visible signs of wear.
This ashtray resonates with the optimism and lightness of the 1960s, when Polish design sought a new balance between functionalism and decorative flair. The organic, fluid form of the vessel and the stylized bird echo a narrative of everyday life elevated by a touch of color and playfulness. The hand-painted finish emphasizes its unique, individual character—each piece subtly different, introducing an element of artistic spontaneity into the interior. Though created with a practical purpose, the ashtray now brings a sense of collectible artifact—a testament to an era when design was intended to be both useful and pleasing to the eye.
The ashtray may serve as a decorative miniature on a sideboard, console, or coffee table, not only in classically furnished living spaces but
