This four-armed ceramic candlestick, designed by Maria Borotyńska in the 1960s for Białostocki Przemysł Ludowy, embodies the spirit of Polish mid-century modern design with subtle folkloric inspirations. Crafted from glazed ceramic, the piece features a fluid color transition: a deep, mirror-like brown crowns the arms, melting into a cool, saturated turquoise at the oval base. The sculptural, organic silhouette is accentuated by an openwork detail in the base, lending a sense of lightness and movement to the otherwise dynamic form. The arms rise vertically, evenly spaced, each ending in a rounded opening for a candle. The surface is smooth and highly glossy, reflecting light and highlighting the modern character of the design. The candlestick is preserved in very good condition – with no damage, chips, or repairs; only subtle, natural traces of the production process typical of the era are visible.The shape of this candlestick narrates the story of 1960s Poland, a time when designers sought new visual languages, blending tradition with avant-garde impulses. Its ceramic form seems to recount a dialogue between craft and artistic imagination – the lustrous glaze catches the light, animating the colors and channeling the energy of a modernist era. The openwork base, reminiscent of a fragment cut from folk ornament, introduces lightness and rhythm, while the color gradient speaks of the era’s bold experimentation with material and form in the context of the People’s Republic of Poland.This candlestick would work beautifully on a low, light wood sideboard or a mid-century modern console, where its organic shape contrasts with geometric lines. It could be paired with other ceramics from the era or minimalist vases to create a striking, artistic accent in a living room or home library. Combining it with natural-ton
