The porcelain figurine 'Twardowski on a Rooster' was designed by Tadeusz Szafran and produced by the Ćmielów Porcelain Factory in the 1930s. Measuring 22.5 × 13.5 × 10 cm, this sculpture features a finely executed, geometric form with elongated lines and stylized details, emblematic of the Art Deco movement. The base is rendered in creamy white porcelain that graduates smoothly into pale blue and yellow pastels, while the rooster displays vivid accents of red and orange, complemented by subtle violets and golden outlines on the tail. Twardowski is depicted with a matte white face and black hair, clothed in a robe that shifts from pink to fuchsia with understated gold sleeves and glossy black boots. The entire surface is finished to a high gloss, with color transitions and smooth porcelain modeling. The figurine remains in excellent condition—no damage, restoration, or overpainting, with all original details and the manufacturer's signature intact.
This object is a narrative in porcelain conjuring the spirit of the Art Deco era’s rapid changes: each curve, each abstracted line echoes the modernist optimism of the interwar years. The luminous surface and vibrant palette evoke a sense of weightlessness, as though the entire scene—fantastical and poised for motion—were frozen in a theatrical gesture. Porcelain Twardowski, an embodiment of Polish folklore, travels dreamily astride a vividly colored rooster, carrying with him the quiet contemplation and subtly ironic decorative flair characteristic of prewar Polish ateliers.
The figurine can be displayed on a classic sideboard in the living room, forming a striking centerpiece within a collection of
