This figural porcelain salt shaker, depicting a stylized stork, is a notable example of Polish tableware design from the 1930s, attributed to the renowned manufactories of Ćmielów or Chodzież. Crafted from high-quality, white glazed porcelain with a glossy finish, the piece sits on a geometric, diamond-shaped base seamlessly integrated with the simplified, Art Deco-inspired silhouette of the bird. Vivid hand-painted accents in saturated orange-red highlight the beak and tail, while large, expressive eyes lend a whimsical character. Five small holes at the top of the head serve for dispensing salt, with a filling opening on the underside, sealed with a cork. The object is preserved in very good condition, showing no damage or discoloration, and retains its full aesthetic and functional qualities.The form of this salt shaker tells a story of its era, when everyday objects gained an artistic touch and a hint of playful spirit.

The smooth, glazed surface and minimalist detailing speak the language of the period—functional, yet celebratory of small moments of pleasure.This salt shaker could be paired with porcelain cups featuring geometric lines or with classic modernist tableware, where muted whites and vibrant red accents create a harmonious whole. It would also fit well in eclectic collector’s interiors, among other figural curios or on a minimalist table as a subtle and humorous highlight. Combining it with natural linen, glass car
