ABOUT PRODUCTID 36656
This decorative porcelain platter from the 1950s, produced by the Zakład Porcelany Stołowej 'Krzysztof' in Wałbrzych, is a compelling example of post-war Polish design. With a diameter of 32 cm and height of 4 cm, the platter features a dynamic, geometric composition—a grid of rectangles and squares overlaid with vertical and horizontal lines. The dominant palette consists of warm orange-red, complemented by touches of pale yellow, white, and a muted greenish-black along the rim. The use of the airbrush-resist technique, characteristic of the era, creates depth and contrast in the coloration, while the glossy, smooth porcelain surface enhances its decorative appeal. Shallow and gently sloped, the platter's proportions are balanced and harmonious. The underside bears the “Wawel, made in Poland” mark, attesting to its authenticity. This example is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of restoration—the original hand-painted decoration remains intact.This platter tells the story of the 1950s—a period when Polish porcelain sought innovative forms of expression inspired by modernism and postwar artistic experimentation. Its geometric pattern and bold colors reflect a fascination with abstraction and a willingness to break free from traditional tableware aesthetics. In daylight, the interplay of colors and lines appears almost kinetic, as if echoing the era’s optimism and desire for expressive reinvention. While rooted in local craftsmanship, the design resonates with the international language of mid-century modern style.The platter
