This set of dessert plates, designed by Elżbieta Piwek-Białoborska in 1957 for the Włocławek Faience Factory (model 3111), captures the essence of Polish mid-century modernism. The set comprises a large serving plate (29.5 × 27.5 cm) and six smaller plates (17.9 × 17.1 cm), all crafted from glazed and hand-painted faience. The color palette is dominated by cool, muted blues with teal and green undertones, accented by deep navy and white. Each plate features a dynamic, abstract pattern of swirling lines and oval motifs, emblematic of the 1950s modernist aesthetic, enhanced by a glossy finish that amplifies the vibrancy of the colors and the fluidity of the hand-painted decoration. The softly rounded, organic shapes and slightly asymmetrical edges emphasize the artisanal nature of the set. The construction is solid, with neatly finished edges and no visible structural flaws. The preservation is excellent, with smooth, even surfaces free from signs of use, damage, or restoration. The listed price applies to the entire set.These plates evoke a time when Polish design began to assert its own identity: dynamic lines, freeform ornamentation, and bold colors answered the postwar desire for modernity and optimism. The glossy, lively faience surfaces recall the spirit of the 1950s, when everyday objects took on a new rhythm. The organic contours and asymmetrical edges speak of informality and joy, while the hand-painted quality bestows each piece with the designer’s personal
