This decorative porcelain plate, produced in 1959 by the Wałbrzych Porcelain Factory, is an exemplary piece of Polish mid-century modern design.

The composition stands out for its precise linework, while the plain white rim frames the detailed illustration, further highlighting the graphic quality. The plate comes equipped with a hanger for wall display, making it as much a piece of art as a functional object. It is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible signs of use, damage, or restoration.The form and decoration of this plate echo the optimism and dynamism of postwar Poland in the 1950s, a period when artists and designers sought a new, modernist visual language.

It works well in a living room against a light backdrop, where the graphic motif and porcelain sheen will
