ABOUT PRODUCTID 24275
The decorative plate 'Kora' is an example of 1960s Polish design, created by Elżbieta Piwek-Białoborska for the Włocławek Faience Factory. The form is based on a simple, round plan (24 cm diameter, 4 cm height) with gently sloping sides and a shallow profile. The body is crafted from glazed faience, with a glossy surface achieved through hand-applied, thick glazes. The primary color is a creamy off-white, accented by dynamic strokes of pastel blue, soft yellow, and muted red and pink—framed by a strikingly dark, almost navy-black rim created with expressive, broad brushstrokes. The relief effect results from uneven, tactile application of the glaze, ensuring each piece is unique. The decoration features organic shapes and swirling lines, rooted in mid-century modern aesthetics with a clear nod to abstract expressionism. The plate is preserved in very good condition, free of chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear.This piece tells the story of post-war Poland, where artistic freedom found its way into everyday objects. 'Kora,' immersed in a palette of pale pastels and sharply contrasted by its dark border, resembles a landscape filtered through the imagination of its designer: dynamic lines and colors form a rhythmic tale of creative gesture. The tactile surface reveals the energy of handcraftsmanship and the spirit of the 1960s, an era when decorative objects boldly experimented with color and form.The plate can serve as a striking centerpiece on a table in the living room or dining area—well-suited to original mid-century modern interiors as well as eclectic, collector-style arrangements.
