ABOUT PRODUCTID 19256
The 'June' teacup, designed by Wincenty Potacki for Ćmielów in 1962, is a fine example of Polish modernism from the 1960s. Made from glossy white porcelain, its construction highlights clear lines and balanced proportions. The body is filled with a vivid, saturated green, crisscrossed by dynamic radiating and diagonal white bands, all bordered by subtle gilt lines. The slender handle features hand-applied gold, while the slightly flared foot adds poise to the design. The saucer repeats the geometric motif, intertwining green and white in a harmonious arrangement. Fine gilding accentuates the rims and handle, and the inner cup and saucer’s center remain crisp white, creating a striking contrast. The set is preserved in very good condition—free of chips, cracks, or discoloration, with the gilding intact and clear.This cup echoes the spirit of the 1960s, when modernism sought a renewed voice in daily rituals. The green, dynamic stripes and geometric rhythm tell of an era when bold color and simple forms were a manifesto for a fresh take on everyday objects. The gilded accents, like a subtle gesture of celebration, evoke moments shared over coffee, when every break could feel like a brief holiday. The Ćmielów porcelain reveals meticulous craftsmanship—every detail speaking to the designer’s care and the metropolitan sophistication of a period that balanced tradition and innovation.This set could be paired with graphic-patterned porcelain or mid-century glassware to enhance the interplay of textures. Its vivid color works well against pale textiles, natural wood, or minimalist surfaces. The 'June' cup
