ABOUT PRODUCTID 38282
This fish-shaped platter, produced in the early 1960s by Zakłady Porcelany i Porcelitu in Chodzież, Poland, exemplifies Polish utilitarian design in the modernist era. Crafted from porcelainite with a glossy black surface, it features fine white lines along the upper section, evoking fish bones or aquatic plants. The lower part showcases a geometric grid with small white squares, lending a touch of modernist ornamentation. The platter’s stylized, minimalist form is defined by smooth, gently curved lines and a subtly raised rim, with the 'tail' forming a practical handle. Its proportions are harmonious and compact (2 × 15 × 12 cm), and the original manufacturer’s mark on the underside confirms its authenticity. The condition is very good, with a smooth, lustrous surface showing no signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This platter carries the voice of the 1960s, a time when Polish design sought freshness in dialogue with Western modernism. Its silhouette—both abstract and instantly recognizable—tells of an era when everyday objects were meant not only to serve but also to embody a new, modern aesthetic. The interplay of deep black and delicate white lines recalls the era’s graphic sensibility, while the smooth sheen of the surface reflects light softly, much like water at dawn. The piece seems to whisper a story of striving for simplicity with a touch of artistic freedom.The platter can be combined with other mid-century modern serveware, especially those featuring geometric or organic forms. It would work well on a dining or coffee table, or as a display piece on a console, sideboard, or shelf. Pairing it with a light tablecloth or contrasting ceramics in white or grey will highlight its graphic character. It may also serve
