This breakfast set from the 1970s, produced by Wawel Porcelain Factory in Wałbrzych, comprises a cup, saucer, and small plate. Typical of Polish tableware from that era, each piece is finished with a hand-applied marbled glaze in cappuccino, grey, beige, and brown tones, with swirling patterns unique to every element. The exterior is glossy and reflective due to fine glazing, while the most distinctive detail is the rich, mirror-like gold gilding inside the cup and on the handle, contrasting with the matte, stone-inspired palette of the exterior. The shapes are rounded, with classic proportions and subtly softened edges, consistent with the era's mid-century modern focus on clarity of function and restrained elegance. The porcelain is delicately thin-walled yet robust. Preservation is good; the set remains original, showing only discreet, normal traces of use in a few areas. This set quietly tells its story from the late modernist period: Wawel porcelain, echoing global trends of the 1970s, introduced a touch of luxury to everyday moments without straying from clarity of form. The marbled finish sometimes resembles natural stone, at other times evokes the surface of a warm morning coffee, while the gold gleam of the cup’s interior catches and reflects light in a pronounced, almost theatrical manner. This detail calls back to the mood of Polish interiors of the time, where pragmatism intersected with a pursuit of elegance and discreet flamboyance. Every piece appears to recount moments at the breakfast table—shared conversations and the modest rituals of daybreak.
