ABOUT PRODUCTID 24261
The 'Kora' decorative plate is a design by Elżbieta Piwek-Białoborska, produced by the Włocławek Faience Factory in the 1960s. This wide, shallow plate (24 cm diameter, 4 cm height) is crafted from glazed faience, featuring a smooth, glassy surface and delicately rounded edges. Its surface is adorned with a striking, hand-painted abstract organic motif: a glossy, warm honey-brown background is overlaid with large petal-like forms in pastel yellow and muted lavender-purple, accented by expressive, light gray-blue strokes that introduce depth and movement. The thickly applied glazes create a tactile relief, while the overall composition remains harmonious and true to the spirit of mid-century modern aesthetics. The condition is very good—no visible chips, cracks, or signs of restoration; the plate retains its original decorative features.This piece tells the story of the 1960s, a period when Polish design sought its identity between tradition and modernity. The dense, glossy textures and vibrant hues evoke the optimism and creative energy of postwar modernization: 'Kora' seems to suggest a world where everyday objects could be both functional and visually compelling. Each brushstroke and color patch, applied by the hand of the painter, holds a unique gesture, as if the plate remembers both its era and the touch of its maker.It can be displayed as a decorative accent on a living room table, where its glossy surface and saturated colors will be most apparent. The plate fits seamlessly into mid-century modern-inspired interiors, but would also complement eclectic, collector's spaces—pair it with coarser ceramics, natural wood, or pastel-toned glass. Placing it on a light-colored tabletop will highlight the contrast of hues and the painterly quality of the glaze relief.
