ABOUT PRODUCTID 24343
The 'Cobra' candle holder, designed by Wit Płażewski and produced by Zakłady Fajansu Włocławek in the 1960s, exemplifies Polish artistic ceramics of the mid-century era. The sculptural form is defined by an organic, upward curve reminiscent of a cobra, seamlessly transitioning into a looped handle. Crafted from glazed faience in a warm, creamy white, the surface features hand-painted vertical stripes in muted blue-grey and ochre, punctuated by deep cobalt blue dots—both between the stripes and along the curved edge. The style is distinctly mid-century modern, emphasizing flowing lines and abstract, geometric decoration. The construction is seamless, with a stable, slightly flared base, and the glaze displays a fine natural crazing characteristic of vintage ceramics. Condition: very good—no visible chips or cracks, all decorative elements original and intact.This candle holder carries the narrative of a period when Polish design was opening up to international trends while remaining rooted in local craftsmanship. Its dynamic silhouette seems to capture motion, as if the piece might rise at any moment to illuminate a new chapter of domestic life. The creamy glaze and hand-painted cobalt accents evoke the spirit of 1960s ceramic studios, where geometry met expression and everyday objects became carriers of artistic storytelling.The 'Cobra' candle holder can be placed in a collector’s display or on a low console in the living room,
