ABOUT PRODUCTID 38351
This decorative platter from the 1950s is a hallmark of Polish New Look modernism, produced by Zakłady Porcelitu in Chodzież. Crafted from porcelain, it features a deep, glossy black glaze adorned with an abstract white decoration inspired by Picasso’s art. The surface is divided into geometric segments filled with graphic linear motifs: grids, dots, swirls, and free-form lines. The piece has a wide, shallow form with gently rising edges—measuring approximately 32 cm in diameter and 4 cm in height. Its underside bears the original Ćmielów-Chodzież factory mark from the 1950s, under the glaze, confirming authenticity. The platter is preserved in very good condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or signs of wear.This platter speaks in the voice of the mid-20th century—a testament to Poland's fascination with abstraction and graphic experimentation that brought a breeze of freshness and boldness into domestic interiors. The glossy black porcelain and dynamic white drawing evoke the optimism of the postwar era: the geometric fields and contrasting lines pulse with the rhythm of modern cities, while the daring form suggests a readiness for new ideas. It is a detail that still draws the eye, as if the object itself tells a story of a time when even everyday items aspired to carry the spirit of art.The platter can be displayed on a low sideboard in the living room, accompanied by minimalist vases or period glassware to highlight its modernist origin. It would also work well against light or graphite walls, where the interplay of contrast will emphasize its graphic character. Pairing it with ceramics of organic shapes or textiles in a muted palette can create a composition true to the mid-century modern spirit or within eclectic collector’s interiors.
