The Three Monkeys from AS Ćmielów
A contemporary porcelain interpretation of the universal motif
“see no evil – hear no evil – speak no evil”
Project History
Created in 2005 by Adam Spała — entrepreneur, inventor, and sculptor,
who breathed new life into the Ćmielów manufactory after its privatisation.
In 2025, the figurine celebrates its 20th anniversary 🎉
AS Ćmielów – Tradition and Innovation
AS Ćmielów is a historic Polish porcelain manufactory, renowned for hand-crafted production
and its beautiful, diverse designs.
The brand preserves the legacy of Polish design while boldly developing new collections.
Handmade Artistry and Sculptural Design
Made entirely by hand and produced in short series,
the “Three Monkeys” figurine features softly modelled silhouettes and clearly defined gestures,
so the composition reads perfectly from every angle —
a compact sculptural object.
Two Finishes – Two Styles
The figurine comes in two finishes:
-
white
-
black
This duality allows the piece to fit seamlessly into both
contemporary interiors and classic collectors’ displays.
Timeless Design
A truly timeless creation:
-
for two decades it has remained part of the collection
-
it continues to attract significant interest
For any porcelain collector, this figurine is a true gem —
combining respect for the symbol, artisanal quality, and a discreet sense of humour.
Success and Achievements of the Manufactory
The figurine’s success reflects the broader achievements of the manufactory under Adam Spała:
-
the Living Museum of Porcelain
-
the revival of historical models
-
striking colour projects, including:
-
the recreated pink porcelain
-
the patented emerald porcelain
-
“Beautiful Monkeys of Europe” Gallery
Right next to the museum, visitors encounter the owner’s artistic ideas,
including the famous “Beautiful Monkeys of Europe” gallery —
proof that in Ćmielów, tradition goes hand in hand with bold imagination.
Summary
The AS Ćmielów “Three Monkeys” represent a beautiful, two-tone design
that never ages and naturally adds new chapters
to the long story of Polish porcelain.
This factory loves the Little Monkeys! :):):)
