ABOUT PRODUCTID 35425
This pair of ceramic candlesticks from Wawel (Poland, 1960s) features a playful, minimalist design inspired by the form of a duck. Crafted from porcelain in a cool, glossy white, each piece is hand-decorated with black painted accents—abstract feather patterns, eyes, and beak details—that highlight the mid-century modern aesthetic characteristic of Polish design from this era. The high-gloss glaze accentuates the smooth surface and enhances the interplay of light across the rounded bodies. Each duck has a candle holder opening on its back. The construction is compact and harmonious, with seamless forms and unique, freehand painting on each piece. The Wawel signature affirms authenticity and collectible value. Condition is good: there is minor patina and a barely visible external crack on one duck, which does not affect usability; the candlesticks have been refreshed, retaining their original finish and signature. The listed price refers to the complete set of two pieces. These candlesticks echo the story of 1960s Polish design—a time when simplicity of form and hand-painted detail coexisted with a touch of playful wit. The smooth porcelain and expressive brushwork evoke an era when even everyday objects could become small statements of style, subtle table sculptures with a quiet, graphic presence. The restrained lines and monochrome palette lend a sense of calm, letting light and shadow take center stage. These candlesticks can be paired with ceramics from the same era, smoked or minimalist glassware, or a simple vase to accentuate their mid-century character. They work well in both vintage-inspired and contemporary interiors where a graphic accent is desired. Placing them on a wooden sideboard or
