For the 28th finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, Ceramika Artystyczna – Spółdzielnia Rękodzieła Artystycznego in Bolesławiec once again prepared something absolutely exceptional. The company created a completely unique ceramic set—handmade and consisting of more than 40 pieces. Its creation was inspired by the artwork associated with this year's finale of the campaign. (Of course, WOŚP gave its approval).
“This is the only pattern of its kind in the world,” says Helena Smoleńska, head of Ceramika Artystyczna – Spółdzielnia Rękodzieła Artystycznego. Interestingly, some of the graphic elements of the WOŚP poster (cobalt circles) resemble one of the oldest ceramic decorations used at Spółdzielnia Rękodzieła Artystycznego: peacock eyes.
The set, designed by Teresa Liana, was put up for auction for the orchestra. The magnificent set was purchased by Ms Marta from Kraków, a fan of both Bolesławiec ceramics and the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, and a mother of four in her private life.
The set sold for PLN 14,099, a phenomenal result considering that the starting price was... PLN 5,000.
