ABOUT PRODUCTID 19389
The 'Krokus' coffee cup and saucer set, designed by Wincenty Potacki and produced by Ćmielów in the 1960s, exemplifies the era of Polish utilitarian modernism. Dominated by a vivid, satin-finished pink on the exterior of both the cup and the saucer, the composition is balanced by pure white porcelain in the cup's interior and the center of the saucer. Geometric gold motifs—repeated lattice circles—accent the edges with rhythmic precision, reflecting the era's affinity for subtle decoration within strict formality. A fine gold rim along the borders and a gold-plated, gently curved handle enhance the modernist silhouette of the slender, slightly conical cup. Both pieces retain a smooth, even texture; no signs of use or damage are present, and the gilding is intact and lustrous. The set is preserved in very good condition, with no repairs or restoration evident.This 'Krokus' set echoes the voice of 1960s Polish modernism—a time when postwar optimism found its way into the aesthetics of everyday objects, combining expressive color with harmonious simplicity. Potacki’s choice of pink radiates a sense of youthful freshness and a belief in understated daily beauty, while the gold accents conjure the image of morning sunlight glancing across porcelain edges. The minimalist lines and geometric decorations evoke tranquility and clarity, capturing modernist aspirations to beauty in utilitarian design.The cup and saucer could be paired with classic white tableware to subtly highlight the porcelain’s pastel
