ABOUT PRODUCTID 11542
This cup and saucer set, produced in Poland in the 1970s, embodies the mid-century modern style typical of Eastern European design from the era. The marbled finish, in shades of violet, lavender, and pink with a pearlescent, opalescent sheen, covers both the cup and saucer, creating a unique pattern with subtle color transitions. The handle and the interior of the cup are finished in glossy, metallic gold, introducing a striking contrast and emphasizing the export-oriented character of PRL-era porcelain. The handle is angular and geometric, while the cup features a straight-sided, cylindrical form and a wide, flat saucer, all in line with minimalist design principles. The porcelain is smooth and glazed, with no visible damage, chips, or signs of wear; the gold accents remain vivid and intact. The marbled pattern is hand-applied, making each set unique. The set is preserved in very good condition, showing no visible traces of use.This cup captures the spirit of the 1970s, when everyday objects were designed to offer a touch of brightness and modernity. Export porcelain from the Polish People's Republic served as a small ambassador of aspiration—its golden interior reflecting light and hinting at luxury beyond the everyday, while the pearlescent marbling evoked dreams and a longing for the colors of the West. Each cup invited a quiet ritual, turning a simple tea or coffee break into a brief escape and a more colorful moment.This set could be paired with other porcelain pieces featuring metallic accents or placed on a minimalist tray to serve as the focal point of a composition. It would work well in a living room inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics, but would also suit eclectic, collector-oriented interiors that value objects with history. It is worth combining with glass vases or textiles in violet tones to enhance the opalescent effect and bring out the depth of color.
