The porcelain figurine 'Girl with a Basket' is an original design by Zofia Śliwowska from 1957, created for the Wawel Porcelain Factory in Wałbrzych – one of the leading centers of Polish ceramic art in the 1950s. The form is deliberately simplified, reduced to an essential, subtly geometric silhouette that emphasizes fluid movement and the natural grace of the figure. The dominant color is a pure, glossy white, contrasted with a sunny yellow shade on the dress and minimalist hand-painted black lines, forming a modern, graphic pattern. The girl’s face and hands are rendered with gentle modeling and a delicate blush, while the simple hair styling completes the composition. The basket, seamlessly integrated into the whole, is a key sculptural counterpoint. The surface is highly glossy, free of cracks or chips, with a stable base. Condition: very good.This figurine echoes the voice of Polish mid-century modernism – honoring porcelain tradition while boldly introducing modern design principles, where lightness of gesture and clarity of form come to the fore. The minimalist outline and luminous palette speak of a time when applied art was intended not only to decorate, but also to inspire new, optimistic perspectives on everyday life. The glossy white porcelain reflects light like a morning ray, while the yellow dress carries a sense of freshness and joy, so characteristic of the mid-century modern aesthetic.The figurine can
