ABOUT PRODUCTID 36953
This set of six dinner plates, model 5012, exemplifies post-war Polish design, created in 1957 by Elżbieta Piwek-Białoborska for the Włocławek Faience Factory. Each plate is crafted from glazed, hand-painted faience with a diameter of 19 cm. The dominant tone is a cool, lavender pink, enlivened by organic, undulating black stripes and a central band of oval, black-on-white motifs. The glossy glazed finish intensifies the color and provides a smooth tactile surface. The set remains in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or visible restoration marks. The hand-painted nature ensures every plate is unique.The pattern tells a story of Polish post-war optimism—a dynamic, asymmetrical composition that carries the energy and boldness of the 1950s. This was an era of searching for new artistic expressions, and Piwek-Białoborska’s design fits perfectly within the mid-century modern movement, where functionality and creative freedom coexist. Each brushstroke feels spontaneous, as if painted in the moment—these plates still resonate with the spirit of their time.The set can be used for both everyday and special table settings, pairing well with simple ceramics, glassware, or minimalist cutlery. It adds vibrancy to mid-century modern interiors and also finds its place in eclectic, collector’s settings—displayed on open shelving or in a cabinet alongside other Polish designs of the 1950s. The plates serve as a counterpoint to understated textiles or wooden surfaces, highlighting the individuality of any table arrangement.The listed price refers to the set of six plates.
