GIRL IN FLARES
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Porcelain Girl in flares is one of the most recognizable projects among the Ćmielów figurines.
The figurine depicts a young modern woman with a slim silhouette and hair tied in a "ponytail," dressed in wide pants (a characteristic outfit of a girl from the 1960s). Additionally, the prestige of the figurine is enhanced by the fact that it was designed by one of the most prominent Polish designers - Professor Lubomir Tomaszewski.
Carefully chosen decoration emphasizes feminine attributes and adds expression. The availability of several decoration versions facilitates matching it to different interiors.
The product is decorated with ceramic paints - the girl's hair with black ceramic paint, while the pants are made in various colors (you can choose the appropriate decoration by adding the selected color to the shopping cart).
The figurine looks beautiful when paired with Henryk Jędrasiak's Sitting girl project (also available in several decorations).
The marking on the figurine is located at the back, placed on the hands clasped behind her back.
Unfortunately, there is no space on the figurine for a dedication (the figurine does not have sufficient surface).
The figurine is often chosen and purchased as a gift for porcelain enthusiasts.
It will be an ideal gift for beginner collectors.
