ABOUT PRODUCTID 36467
The porcelain figurine 'Egipcjanka', designed in 1962 by Eryka Trzewik-Drost for the Bogucice Porcelain Works in Katowice, is an exemplary piece of Polish 1960s modernism. Its minimalist, geometric silhouette and subtly stylized female form reference ancient Egyptian motifs, while the high-quality porcelain features a lustrous, glossy glaze. The hand-painted decoration employs deep cobalt blue and vivid orange-red accents, visible in the headdress, borders, and floral motifs. The proportions are elongated and simplified, with delicate facial features rendered in fine lines. The structure is seamless, with a flat and stable base. The condition is excellent, with no visible damage or signs of wear.This figurine embodies the spirit of the 1960s—a decade of creative renewal and subtle rebellion. Its cool white surface and restrained decoration reflect a search for modern identity, blending tradition with avant-garde impulses. 'Egipcjanka' speaks of an era when even everyday objects became artistic statements: sculptural simplicity and expressive color combine to evoke a sense of calm and understated sophistication.It can be displayed on a low shelf or console in the living room, where its geometric form enters into a dialogue with both antiques and contemporary objects. When paired with furniture of clean lines and natural materials—such as veneer, glass, or stone—it highlights its mid-century heritage. It may be combined with other mid-century or minimalist pieces to accentuate its quiet artistic presence.Dimensions: height 13 cm, width 4 cm, depth 8 cm. Material: white porcelain, hand-glazed and decorated. Designer: Eryka Trzewik-Drost; manufacturer: Zakłady Porcelany 'Bogucice', Katowice. Condition: collector's grade, no damage.
