ABOUT PRODUCTID 24342
The 'Quartet' candlestick, designed by Maria Worotyńska for the Białostocki Przemysł Ludowy cooperative, exemplifies Polish ceramic artistry of the 1960s in the mid-century modern style. Its sculptural silhouette is formed by four vertical arms with rounded tops, symmetrically arranged around an oval, hollow base that lends the object both visual lightness and geometric precision. The rich green glaze shifts subtly from deep forest to lighter olive tones, while the glossy surface accentuates both the fluidity of the lines and the organic quality of the design. The proportions—21.5 cm in length, 7 cm in width, and 20 cm in height—balance delicacy with stability. The original label on the underside attests to its authenticity, and the overall condition is very good, with no damage, cracks, or signs of wear.Though created over half a century ago, this ceramic candlestick still speaks with the voice of Polish modernism: it tells of a search for harmony between everyday function and sculptural expression. The lustrous green evokes memories of an era when bold formal solutions and measured ornamentation offered a counterpoint to the austerity of postwar life. The shape of the 'Quartet' forms an almost musical composition, as if the candlestick's arms rise in rhythmic gesture, ready to catch the light and reveal the depth of its glaze.The candlestick can be paired with a low, simple veneered sideboard or a minimalist coffee table, where it will highlight the graphic character of a mid-century modern interior. It sits comfortably alongside glass vases, geometric mirrors, or a collection of books and small sculptures. In an eclectic living room, it could be grouped with warm textiles and ceramics in contrasting hues to create a composition based on the interplay of textures and colors. It works equally well as a centerpiece on a table or as part of a display with other vintage objects.
