Round inlaid wooden plaque
« on: October 10, 2007, 01:20:44 AM »
Found this a couple of years back and loved it on sight. The inset woods are surrounded by fine brass edging. It has a label on the back with Polish (I think) lettering, but I can't find the pic of the label. It's somewhere on the network so I'll try and find it and add it later. (The paler surround is the top of the kitchen stool it's sat on!)

Your plate most certainly has a paper 'Cepelia' label glued to the back.

'Cepelia' was a central cooperative for Polish artisans from 1949 till 1990.  After 1990, 'Cepelia' was transfomed to include other entities, not least an artisan union and a foundation to protect Polish folk art.

Post-1990 labels are colourful (see the two examples below), whilst pre-1990 labels were printed with black ink on dull brown paper. (Unfortunately I've only got a remnant of such a label).

These plates or plaques were/are used as wall decorations, mainly bought by tourists.  The last picture shows 4 or the many hanging in my parents' house. :)

Sorry Anne...  I forgot to mention that the labels above do not come from plaques, but from other 'Cepelia' items -- a wooden casket/box, a painting, and a wooden playing card box. :)
