ABOUT PRODUCTID 38539
This decorative plate, produced in the 1960s at the Wałbrzych Porcelain Factory, is a vivid example of Polish modernist applied arts. Crafted from porcelain, it features a deep, glossy black glaze that serves as a dramatic backdrop for a hand-painted, graphic composition—a stylized scene of moored ships, rendered in sharp, geometric forms of white and pastel yellow. The plate is wide and flat (diameter 30.5 cm, height 2.4 cm) with a gently raised rim; its surface remains perfectly smooth and lustrous. The decoration stands out for its precision and restrained, modernist color palette. Condition: ideal—no visible signs of use, damage, or restoration.This plate carries the spirit of Polish 1960s avant-garde, when tableware artfully embraced graphic reduction and minimalism. The black porcelain surface evokes a nocturnal harbor, while the white lines and pastel yellow accents conjure impressions of light and shadow, as if captured in a single cinematic frame. Both the form and imagery tell the story of a time when everyday objects became canvases for artistic experiment and expression.The plate may be displayed on a low sideboard or console, where the contrast of black glaze and bright lines will underscore its graphic impact. It can be paired with other modernist vessels, simple glassware, or sculptural metal accents to highlight the strength of its decoration. It will suit a mid-century modern living room or an eclectic interior where a dialogue of eras and materials creates a unique narrative.
