This spoon with amber was produced circa 1950–63 by the ORNO cooperative in Warsaw, an important hub of postwar Polish modernist artistry. The piece is executed in a muted, matte silver with a cool patina. The round bowl bears gentle traces of use, while the stem is formed from a decorative, twisted rod, a hallmark of the era’s sculptural approach. The handle terminates in an oval, domed amber cabochon—a warm, cognac-colored gemstone set in silver, mounted above a small silver bead that echoes the form of the amber setting. The style blends postwar modernism with folk-inspired motifs, characteristic of ORNO’s New Look artistic silversmithing. Visible hallmarks affirm authenticity and provenance. The spoon is preserved in very good condition without structural damage or major scratches, with only mild abrasions consistent with gentle use and age.This object echoes the language of the 1950s, when the search for new forms met a longing for tradition. Silver and amber—materials deeply rooted in Polish craftsmanship—take on an understated, nearly sculptural line here. The twisted stem hints at the handwork of the makers, while the glowing cabochon of amber softly retells the story of the Baltic and natural treasures
