ABOUT PRODUCTID 19254
The June cup and saucer set represents Polish modernism expressed in porcelain, designed in 1962 by Wincenty Potacki for the Ćmielów factory. Its form is defined by a tapering cylindrical body with a gently flared rim and ergonomic handle, complemented by a wide saucer with a subtly raised edge. Deep, glossy burgundy porcelain is decorated with dynamic, diagonally running white stripes—an iconic graphic motif of 1960s aesthetics. The composition is highlighted with hand-applied gilding along the rim, stripe borders, and handle, consistently emphasizing the design’s geometric precision. The perfectly smooth, reflective porcelain surface attests to the high-quality craftsmanship that characterized Ćmielów’s production of the era. The set is preserved in very good condition: no chips or cracks, with only minimal wear visible on the gilded accents.This 1960s set quietly tells the story of an era of modernist cafés and gatherings at home, where bold visual language met daily rituals. The burgundy background with crisp white stripes evokes first light reflecting off porcelain at dawn, while gold edges gently underline the significance of careful detail. In their simplicity, the cup and saucer become a distinctive gesture of their time—showing that everyday objects were carriers of modern thought and restrained ornamentation.The June design can be paired both with classic mid-century modern interiors—surrounded by warm wood and clean lines—and with more eclectic settings, where it contrasts with pale ceramics or glass accessories. It may be combined with a linen napkin, silver teaspoon, or minimalist coffee pot, building a subtle bridge between Polish tradition and modernist approaches to daily pleasures. The set is well suited to home tables during intimate gatherings, or as a singular, collectible design accent in a carefully curated display.
