ABOUT PRODUCTID 3048
This decorative plate, designed by Nadzieja Kowalów for the Kamionka Cooperative in Łysa Góra during the 1970s, is made of ceramics with a diameter of 32 cm and thickness of 3.6 cm. The composition features two stylized fish facing opposite directions, hand-painted on a deep, glossy black background. Vivid shades of green and blue are accentuated with warm orange outlines and details. The green areas are dotted with orange, and the blue sections with green, creating a dynamic polka-dot pattern bordered by an earthy orange rim. The plate's surface is highly glazed, enhancing the saturation of the colors and emphasizing the meticulous craftsmanship. The item is in excellent condition, with no visible damage or signs of wear. The form of the plate evokes organic inspiration, while the stylized fish appear to move across the glossy black ground, as if captured in motion. The interplay of contrasting colors and hand-painted details brings a sense of energy, where traditional folk motifs meet modern interpretation. The glazed finish reflects light, intensifying the vibrancy of the design and highlighting the artistic character of the piece. The plate acts as a visual accent, conjuring the atmosphere of the 1970s and the spirit of Polish applied arts from that period. It can be displayed at the center of a table or sideboard to showcase its decorative qualities. Pairing it with ceramics in subdued hues or glassware in warm tones will allow the plate's vivid colors to stand out. A background of light, matte surfaces or raw wood will emphasize both the contrasts and the glazed texture. Consider surrounding it with plants featuring simple leaves or textiles in neutral shades to balance the plate's striking presence with a calmer environment.
