ABOUT PRODUCTID 1375
The 'Cat and Mouse' coffee cup from Ćmielów, designed by Olga Sipowicz (Kora) in the 1980s, exemplifies the era's Polish utilitarian porcelain. Crafted from white, high-gloss glazed porcelain, it features a minimalist form: a gently flared rim, a perfectly round, open handle, and a wide, shallow saucer create a functional and modern silhouette. The surface is smooth and even, serving as a canvas for the hand-painted decoration: a graphic motif of a cat and mouse in vivid hues of red, orange, yellow, green, and violet, outlined in black. The saucer is adorned with a dynamic, multicolored brushstroke and the artist's signature, while the underside bears the Ćmielów factory mark. The set is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of wear.This cup carries the spirit of the 1980s—a time marked by boldness, exploration, and a rejection of convention. The 'Cat and Mouse' motif is not merely a graphic anecdote but an artistic statement: Kora's energetic line and vibrant palette bring a sense of playfulness, defiance, and freedom to the everyday ritual of coffee. This is porcelain that speaks with its own voice, celebrating the joy of simple acts while reminding us of the power of individual expression in daily objects.The cup and saucer can serve as a striking highlight on a minimalist table or as a complement to a vintage collection, particularly when paired with geometric glassware or contrasting textiles. They may be combined with other elements of Polish design from the 1980s to create a cohesive narrative of the era, or used as a singular artistic accent in contemporary or eclectic interiors—on a pale tabletop, the vibrant decoration will be especially showcased.
