The central well of the saucer remains white, creating a graphic contrast that draws the eye to the cup. Classic in form, the cup features a gently flared lip and a semicircular handle, while the proportions remain true to the clean lines and measured simplicity of 1950s Czech design.

The cup might recall mornings when its lilac sheen graced a kitchen table, and gold accents caught the first hints of sunlight. Its balanced simplicity aligns with the era’s ethos—in
