ABOUT PRODUCTID 20353
This oval ceramic cake plate from 1957, produced by the Włocławek Faience Factory, is a notable example of Polish New Look ceramics. Measuring 20 × 17.5 × 2.5 cm, the plate features a harmonious, gently rounded form. The surface is coated in a warm, ivory-white glaze with a subtle, glossy sheen. Its central hand-painted motif consists of five abstract botanical elements: green rectangular centers encircled by light brown rings and accented with deep teal-blue crescents, all connected by a thin, dark branching line with geometric offshoots. Visible brushstrokes and subtle shifts in color intensity attest to the hand-decorated nature typical of 1950s faience. The plate is preserved in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or signs of wear.This piece echoes the voice of 1950s Polish modernism: the restrained form and optimistic decoration reflect an era when daily life embraced new shapes and colors. The geometric plant motifs, expressive lines, and hand-painted details evoke the spirit of postwar design enthusiasm, as Polish households welcomed fresh, cheerful patterns into their interiors. Each detail seems to tell a story of hope for modernity—of breakfasts where new ceramics brought visual delight and a daily sense of joy.The plate can be complemented by other New Look-era tableware or minimalist porcelain to highlight its graphic quality. It would work well in a kitchen inspired by mid-century modern style or in eclectic vintage collections. It may be used as a cake platter, a display piece on a console, or a colorful accent on an open shelf among contemporary accessories. Pairing it with matte ceramics or smoky glass would emphasize the depth of its hand-painted colors and lines.
