ABOUT PRODUCTID 20351
This bonbonniere from Włocławek, designed before 1958 and hand-painted by A. Piwowarska at Model 5054, originates from the Ośrodek Wzorcujący nr 2. Crafted from glazed faience, it measures 7.8 cm in height, 20 cm in length, and 13.2 cm in width. Characteristic of 1950s Polish artistic ceramics, the piece features an elongated, oval body with distinctive, wing-like ends. The surface is adorned with a bold, hand-painted decoration: dynamic, organic vertical stripes in deep navy blue or black on a warm, creamy white background, creating a visually striking optical effect. The glossy, smooth glaze and sharply defined edges emphasize the refined craftsmanship of the era. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration—this bonbonniere remains in very good condition.The form of this piece reflects the modernist explorations of the 1950s, a time when Polish artistic ceramics drew inspiration both from biomorphic abstraction and everyday function. The elongated, aerodynamic lines evoke an era when useful objects embraced expressive design. The hand-painted, irregular stripes preserve the individuality of the maker—each brushstroke a testament to the artist's touch—while the lustrous surface becomes a canvas for shifting light.This bonbonniere can be displayed on a dining room sideboard or in a living room cabinet, where its graphic decoration acts as a subtle highlight among a mid-century modern ceramics collection. It may be paired with simple, light tableware to emphasize the contrast of the painted motif, or combined with dark wood to draw out the depth of the blue stripes. In contemporary, minimalist interiors, it would serve equally well as a single sculptural object, fulfilling both decorative and practical roles.
