The porcelain figurine 'Leżący kot' (Lying Cat) is a design by Mieczysław Naruszewicz, produced by the Ćmielów manufactory in Poland during the 1960s—a period when Polish design boldly embraced the international modernist current while cultivating its own distinctive voice. The piece features an elongated, stylized feline rendered in cool gradations of grey and black, accented by striking white eyes. The body’s streamlined, abstracted silhouette is enhanced by a smoky gradient, with softly blended tones that emphasize the sculptural purity of the form. A smooth, high-gloss glaze reflects light, lending the figure a sense of movement and ease. The base bears the clear 'ĆMIELÓW' signature. The figurine is in very good condition, with no signs of damage or restoration—porcelain and painted details remain crisp and fully original.This cat seems to whisper the spirit of the 1960s: a time when Polish ceramics sought its own language between artistic avant-garde and everyday simplicity. Naruszewicz’s reclining cat is more than a representation of an animal; it is a poetic meditation on stillness and focus. Its minimalist form, devoid of narrative detail, allows light and shadow to play across the surface, as if the cat were resting quietly in the half-light of a modernist interior. The monochrome palette and flowing lines evoke a world built on harmony and rhythm, echoing the aspirations of Poland’s mid-century designers.The figurine can be displayed atop a low teak sideboard or amidst geometric art prints, subtly referencing the mid-century modern aesthetic. It will fit naturally into both curated, collector’s spaces and minimalist interiors, where it may be paired with other black-and-white accents: ceramic vases, matte lamps, or simple glass trays. It would also work well on a bookshelf with volumes on modernist art, or as
