The 'Ada' cup and saucer, designed by Wincenty Potacki for the Ćmielów factory in the early 1970s, exemplifies the marriage of streamlined cylindrical form and a decorative approach rooted in Polish porcelain tradition. The set is dominated by a deep, glossy black, serving as a canvas for hand-applied gold crackle that unfolds in irregular, organic patterns, creating striking visual contrast. The inside of the cup and the center of the saucer remain crisp white, while handle, rim, and saucer edge are highlighted with finely executed gilding. The saucer features a broad profile with gently uplifted edges, and the matte, ribbed base of the cup references the artisanal craftsmanship characteristic of this era.
