ABOUT PRODUCTID 36608
This porcelain bonbonniere from Wałbrzych, crafted in 1959, stands as a testament to Polish mid-century modern design in the New Look style. The vessel is made from high-quality, smooth porcelain, its body covered in a deep, glossy black adorned with a dynamic, hand-painted pattern of intersecting white lines. A geometric handle in matte light grey crowns the lid, creating a striking contrast with the lustrous body. The form is low, wide, and elegantly rounded, with balanced proportions emphasizing its graphic appeal. The piece bears the signature 'Wałbrzych, Made in Poland', attesting to its provenance and authenticity. It is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of restoration.This vessel tells the story of the bold spirit characterizing Polish applied arts in the 1950s, when designers sought new visual languages for everyday objects. The interplay of black and white, arranged in an abstract, almost atomic-age composition, evokes a sense of postwar optimism and belief in progress. Its smooth, reflective surface captures the light, creating a subtle stage-like effect on the table, while the graphic motif seems to move—an echo of modernist experimentation. Though modest in scale, the bonbonniere embodies the era when art and function were given equal standing.It could be placed on a low sideboard or at the center of a living room table, serving as a decorative accent in a collector's interior or a mid-century modern-inspired space. It may be paired with other black-and-white objects or geometric glassware to enhance its graphic quality. The piece also works well alongside raw wood, neutral textiles, and minimalist décor, allowing its bold form and contrasting pattern to take center stage.Height: 11 cm, diameter: 14 cm. Signed, glazed porcelain, hand-painted. The price refers to a single piece.
