ABOUT PRODUCTID 229
This salt shaker from the 1930s, produced by the Ćmielów Porcelain Factory, exemplifies classic Polish Art Deco design. Its form is based on a stylized chick—marked by an exaggerated head and beak with a rounded, compact body. The dominant color is a warm, pastel yellow that evenly coats the entire porcelain surface, imparting a smooth, glossy finish. Brown accents on the bird’s back and tail enliven the composition, while the white base is hand-painted with black lines to suggest delicate claws. The eyes are graphic and expressive, painted in concentric black and white circles, lending the piece an animated quality. The construction is seamless, with no visible joints, and the painted details are crisp and well-preserved. The salt shaker remains in very good condition: no cracks, chips, or repairs—every element is original and authentic.This piece resonates with the optimistic spirit of the 1930s, when Art Deco transformed everyday objects into miniature statements of style. The yellow glazed body conjures the glow of a sunny morning, while the lively, graphic eyes and simplified lines evoke the playful elegance of the era. It is as if the chick itself recounts a time when porcelain tableware graced breakfast tables, and daily rituals were complemented by a refined sense of whimsy and color.This salt shaker can be displayed on a shelf alongside other porcelain from the 1920s and 1930s, creating a consistent motif of geometric lines and pastel hues. It also works as a single accent on a console or minimalist sideboard, or among a collection of animal figurines. Interiors inspired by Art Deco, mid-century, or eclectic collections will benefit from its subtle, sculptural presence. It may be paired with transparent glass, marble, or polished brass to highlight the porcelain’s gloss and lightness.
