This coffee cup, produced by the Czechoslovak TK Thun porcelain factory in the 1950s, is an example of mid-century modern design. The set consists of a cup and saucer made from fine, white porcelain with a glazed, smooth surface. The dominant color is a saturated turquoise with a glossy finish, complemented by the white interior of the cup and the center of the saucer. Gilded accents, such as the rim of both cup and saucer, a gold handle, and a gold ring around the center of the saucer, contribute distinctive yet subtle decoration characteristic of the 1950s. The cup’s proportions (height 4.8 cm, diameter 7 cm, length 8.8 cm) and saucer (diameter 11.2 cm, height approx. 1.5 cm) reflect the era’s minimalist sensibility. The base retains the factory mark used after 1945. Cup and saucer preserved in very good condition, with no damage and gold decorations fully intact.The smooth curves and cool turquoise of this cup recall the postwar optimism and restrained elegance of 1950s Czechoslovakia. The gently shimmering gilding dialogues with the era’s modernist fascination for color and light, while the form convinces with the kind of soft precision seen in mid-century Central European design. If given a voice, this cup might tell stories of intimate coffee gatherings or everyday rituals, where luxury is found in the simple gesture of pouring a drink into hand-finished porcelain.The set may be paired with other mid-century inspired tableware—simple porcelain forms in white, olive
