ABOUT PRODUCTID 19270
The 'Ida' cup and saucer, designed by Wincenty Potacki for Ćmielów in 1962, embody the essentials of Polish 1960s modernism. Crafted from smooth, glazed porcelain, this set is dominated by an expressive, lively yellow contrasted by crisp white and accented with hand-applied gilding along the rim of the saucer, edge of the cup, and the slender, elongated handle. Radiating white oval motifs appear along the bottom of the cup and on the saucer, establishing a rhythmic, geometric composition characteristic of the era. Proportions combine a wide, gently curved saucer rim with an outward-flaring cup that tapers toward the base, resulting in harmonious coherence. The set is signed Ćmielów 'made in Poland' and remains in very good original condition – the surface is smooth with no abrasions or losses, and the gold detailing is intact and clearly defined.The 'Ida' form channels the optimism of early 1960s Poland, a period when design sought to brighten daily life. The sunny hue, disciplined geometry, and luminous finishes feel like an invitation to savor everyday moments with lightness and positivity. Each line and decorative element echoes the period's preference for bold forms and a hint of sophistication in utilitarian objects, suggesting a design narrative that values clarity and functional grace.The 'Ida' cup and saucer may be paired with other porcelain pieces from the same era—such as pastel-hued plates or simply shaped cups—or contrasted with contemporary, neutral-toned accessories. It would work well on a pale wooden table or as a vivid accent in an eclectic dining space. Consider combining it with white ceramics, cut glass, or 1960s design tableware; it could also serve as a solo highlight on a breakfast table, introducing a subtle vintage motif into modern table
