This decorative ceramic plate from the 1950s, crafted by the now-defunct 'Kamionka' Folk and Artistic Industry Cooperative in Łysa Góra, embodies the essence of Polish modernist art pottery. Made of thick, kiln-fired ceramic with a richly glazed surface, the plate features a deep, warm brown background and rim. At its center, a hand-glazed motif evokes peacock feathers, with turquoise segments separated by irregular black and ochre outlines. The turquoise glaze reveals a subtle crackle effect and tonal transitions, highlighting the uniqueness of each piece. Raised rings inside the plate are finished in chocolate brown with a tactile, mesh-like texture, adding a sense of dimensionality. Two holes at the back allow for easy wall mounting. No chips, scratches, or visible traces of wear; the glazed finish preserves its original shine and texture. The plate is in very good condition, free from typical ceramic damage of the period.This piece resonates with the spirit of postwar Polish modernism, where organic forms and bold color palettes intertwined to create functional art. The plate seems to narrate its era—a period when utilitarian objects were designed to bridge everyday life with artistic expression. Its sculptural motif echoes mid-century fascination with natural themes refracted through a modernist lens. The interplay of thick ceramic, dynamic color gradients, and concentric reliefs speaks of form and light experiments typical of the 1950s' drive toward innovation and individuality.The plate may be displayed on a living room wall or above a sideboard, using the back mounting holes to make it a visual centerpiece within a mid-century
