ABOUT PRODUCTID 30767
This Ćmielów cup and saucer in the 'Krokus' shape is part of a mid-century Polish card service, reflecting the modernist design language of the 1950s and 60s. Crafted from porcelain in a warm, slightly off-white tone with a glossy finish, the set features a saucer adorned with a wide, deep black band and two stylized card suit motifs: a red diamond and black spade, drawn with playful graphic lines. Both cup and saucer are edged with fine gold lines, and the cup's handle is finished in gold for an elegant touch. The proportions are classic – the cup measures 8 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter, with the saucer at 14 cm in diameter. The set is exceptionally well-preserved: the porcelain is free from damage, and the gilt accents remain intact and unworn. This cup tells the story of postwar Polish design, where functionality met a playful spirit. The card motifs, combined with modernist graphic bands, create a light, uplifting composition—an invitation to a round of bridge over coffee or tea. The gold accents lend a note of refinement, while the clean lines speak to the optimism and craftsmanship of the era—a time when everyday objects were imbued with artistic vision. This set may be enjoyed for intimate gatherings or as a decorative highlight in a living room display. It pairs well with other mid-century porcelain or minimalist tableware in contrasting hues to emphasize its graphic qualities. The design is most at home in mid-century modern interiors, amidst geometric forms, simple furniture, and collectibles. The listed price is for one cup and saucer.
