ABOUT PRODUCTID 12322
This cup and saucer set, produced in Wałbrzych, Poland in the 1970s, is a distinctive example of late modernist Polish porcelain design. Crafted from fine porcelain, the set features a rich, iridescent violet hue with a marbled effect—shades of lavender, purple, subtle pink, and blue blend across the lustrous, glossy surface. The cup’s interior and its angular geometric handle are gilded with a high-shine gold finish, creating a striking decorative accent. The saucer mirrors the marbled pattern of the cup, while the overall silhouette is defined by clean lines and the bold, contrasting color palette typical of export designs from the 1970s. The porcelain is smooth and finely executed, with no signs of damage or heavy use. Condition: very good, with no visible restoration or patina.This set carries the voice of its era, a time when Polish design—despite constraints—sought new forms of expression. The iridescent violet evokes the spirit of the 1970s, when color and form whispered a subtle promise of luxury, even in everyday rituals. The gilded interior and angular handle echo the export ambitions of the time, bringing a touch of glamour to the restrained reality of the People’s Republic of Poland. The artistic tampon printing technique ensures each piece has an individual, almost abstract character.The set can be used in an intimate coffee corner in the living room or as a single highlight within a display of collectible porcelain. It pairs well with amethyst-toned glassware or with simple, modern shapes in glass and metal. Consider matching it with understated textiles or a minimalist tablecloth to accentuate the marbled surface and gold details. Interiors inspired by late modernism, eclectic arrangements, or curated collectible displays will best reveal its decorative potential.
