EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the bustling porcelain factory of Doubi, Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia in 1977. A young woman named Wanda Janakova is diligently working amidst the clinking of delicate crockery as she contributes to the production of exquisite coffee and tea sets that are destined for export to western Europe.
The factory's specialization in crafting high-quality ceramics is evident in the commemorative mugs displayed on the shelves, created to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. These intricately designed pieces showcase both skillful artistry and meticulous attention to detail.
In this snapshot of communist-era industry, we witness a glimpse into the history of mass production and manufacturing in Eastern Europe during the 1970s. The dedication and hard work of individuals like Wanda Janakova played a crucial role in sustaining this thriving sector.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the significance of labor and craftsmanship in shaping our cultural heritage. The legacy of these skilled workers lives on through each carefully crafted piece that leaves their hands, carrying with it a piece of history that transcends time.
