This is a Polish model sailboat from the 1950s, crafted from vibrant orange-brown Bakelite with a warm, saturated amber hue and subtle natural marbling that is distinctive of mid-century plastics. The hull and sails have a smooth, semi-gloss finish, complemented by masts and supporting rods in a refined ivory-tone plastic, introducing a gentle contrast to the composition. Finely bent dark metallic rigging connects the various elements, highlighting the artisanal, handcrafted assembly typical of the era. The piece stands on a rectangular solid Bakelite base echoing the color of the hull, while a minimalist red-and-white pennant at the masthead provides an understated decorative touch. The overall style is mid-century modern, featuring streamlined, curved lines and balanced proportions that capture a sense of movement reminiscent of wind in the sails. All wire joins are exposed, manifesting the authenticity of manual craftsmanship. The model is preserved in very good condition, with no cracks, chips, or visible damage—only subtle, age-appropriate patina in the Bakelite, fully consistent with its unaltered, vintage origin.This piece resonates with the optimism and inventiveness of 1950s Poland, a time when new materials promised the dawn of modern living. The Bakelite radiates a warm, amber glow when caught by the light, while the gently arched sails evoke dreams of distant journeys and freedom. Visible handwork in the rigging
