Pretty uncommon but not that uncommon. I haven’t seen these outside Silesia but I honestly didn’t look for them.
My theory is that during communist times siding was hard to get by, but broken plates from industrial production were abundant. So people took them and used it as a siding. It looks better than just concrete.

It’s pretty uncommon to use plates, but this may have been a ceramic producing town or region.
Other houses from this era I’ve seen use pebbly type stone, small tile and even glass mixed into the concrete when it was poured and set.
