ABOUT PRODUCTID 19369
The Ada cup and saucer, crafted by Ćmielów in the 1970s, reflect the interplay between Polish modernist design and mid-century aesthetics. Made from fine porcelain in a cool, subtly subdued blue with a matte-satin surface, the set features a meticulously hand-applied network of gold lines across both elements—an effect evocative of Japanese kintsugi or artistic craquelure. The interior of the cup and the central field of the saucer remain crisply white, creating a distinct chromatic counterpoint to the colored surface. The rims and the outer edge of the handle are accented by hand-painted gold. The cup takes an understated cylindrical form with a lightly faceted base, while the handle merges smoothly for comfortable holding. The surface is smooth, the gilding is complete, and there are no visible signs of wear or damage; the set remains in very good condition.This set speaks in the quiet voice of the 1970s, when Polish designers sought a rapprochement of geometric restraint and expressive, hand-finished decoration. The blue porcelain and its wandering gold lines evoke a sense of calm and measured sophistication, as if to celebrate everyday rituals with a touch of reflective luxury. The Ada cup seems to offer an invitation to pause, to savor a moment—marking daily routines with understated, luminous artistry rather than ostentation.This set could be displayed in a collectors' showcase of Polish mid-century design or simply used on a modern breakfast table, perhaps complemented by a minimalist glass jug or matte
