ABOUT PRODUCTID 38211
The 'Adam and Eve' platter is a notable example of Polish modernist porcelain from the late 1950s, designed by Walentyna Groszenik in 1958 for the Wawel Porcelain Factory in Wałbrzych. Crafted from high-quality, smooth porcelain, the piece features a harmonious, flat profile measuring 32 cm in diameter and 4 cm in height. The decoration is composed of bold geometric divisions in a striking palette of deep black, vivid red, and crisp white. The left half of the platter displays stylized, abstract silhouettes of Adam and Eve set against a glossy black background, while the right side combines a speckled black-and-white section with a solid, lustrous red segment. The original hand-painted finish remains intact, and the high-gloss surface enhances the vibrancy of the colors. The underside bears the 'Wawel, made in Poland' mark, confirming its authenticity. Preserved in excellent condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This platter speaks in the clear voice of Polish mid-century modernism: its bold form, decisive color contrasts, and abstract interpretation of a biblical theme reflect the optimism and artistic courage of the postwar era. It seems to tell the story of a time when Polish applied arts sought their own language—blending universal symbols with geometric discipline. The glossy surface catches the light with a theatrical flair, while the stylized figures hint that an everyday object can carry a deeper narrative.The platter can be displayed on a low sideboard in the living or dining room, where its contrasting colors and graphic form will serve as a visual highlight. It pairs well with mid-century modern furniture, minimalist accessories, or black-and-white wall art. The piece may also be set alongside simple-form ceramics or glass—consider combining it with a neutral background or raw wood to emphasize its modernist heritage and artistic character.
