ABOUT PRODUCTID 34937
This porcelain wall plate, created for Cepelia-Opole in the 1970s, is a testament to Polish folk craftsmanship, hand-painted by Gertruda Kleman. On the glossy white porcelain surface, a dense, symmetrical floral pattern unfolds—deep cobalt blues, vivid reds, yellows, and greens interwoven with fine black outlines form a vibrant, multicolored composition. Each detail reveals the artist’s hand; visible brushstrokes and subtle variations in ornamentation highlight the uniqueness of the piece. The plate's round shape, gently raised rim, and smooth, lustrous finish emphasize its decorative purpose, while the back is fitted for wall display. Condition: good to very good, with a localized patina consistent with age and no mechanical damage. This plate resonates with the spirit of its era, when tradition and modernity intersected in Poland. It speaks of the 1970s, a time when Cepelia embodied the revival of folk art and a renewed appreciation for craft. While rooted in regional Opole motifs, the design carries the imprint of the artist’s individual expression—each flower and line a fragment of a personal narrative. The color palette and painterly gesture evoke a return to origins, reflecting both the energy and the search for authenticity that defined those years. The plate is well-suited to interiors that appreciate a dialogue between tradition and the present. It could be grouped with other folk-inspired pieces to create a wall gallery, or displayed alone above a wooden console to emphasize its artistic nature. It works beautifully in eclectic, collector’s spaces, as well as within Scandinavian or bohemian-inspired décor where color and detail take center stage. The listed price refers to a single piece.
