ABOUT PRODUCTID 19368
The 'Ada' cup and saucer set, designed by Wincenty Potacki for Ćmielów in the 1970s, typifies the era’s Polish modernism in utilitarian porcelain. The cup features a geometric, subtly angular profile that gently tapers toward a bright white base, mirroring the saucer’s wide, flat edge. The principal color—a saturated cherry red—envelops the exterior of both pieces, while irregular gold vein and leaf patterns, applied overglaze, lend a marbled effect accentuated by gold detailing on the cup's rim, handle, and saucer edge. The cup’s interior and the center of the saucer remain glossy white, punctuating the vividness of the exterior decoration. The porcelain’s finish is smooth and polished, and the set is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, chips, or restoration.Its form and palette evoke a period in which Polish porcelain embraced modern solutions, balancing bold color with metallic sheen. The saturated red and carefully rendered gold veins recall the spirit of the 1970s—a time of expressive design choices and experimentation at the intersection of function and ornament. The ‘Ada’ set appears to narrate an era when porcelain was designed not only for everyday use, but also to bring visual pleasure and break the austerity of daily routine—even during an ordinary coffee break.This set can be displayed as a statement piece in a collector’s dining room or on a home coffee table. It pairs well with minimalist ceramics from the 1970s, Murano glass, or clean-lined wall graphics. The red-and-gold scheme
