ABOUT PRODUCTID 19272
The 'London' cup and saucer, designed by Wincenty Potacki in 1962 for the Ćmielów porcelain factory, exemplifies the aesthetics of 1960s Polish modernism. The tall, cylindrical form—gently flaring at the base—is crafted from porcelain with a semi-gloss, muted pink finish. Its smooth surface is adorned with elongated, almond-like motifs in white, classically accented with hand-applied, lustrous gold above the glaze. Gold details grace the cup’s rim, the saucer’s edge, and the cup’s slim, geometric handle, while the unglazed bottom and the crisp white center of the saucer contrast with the colored exterior. Proportions are deliberately refined: the cup stands 8.4 cm tall, with a diameter of 6.4 cm and length of 8.6 cm; the saucer measures 13.6 cm across. The porcelain shows uniform smoothness and no signs of wear. The set remains in very good condition, free from discoloration, chips, or scratches.This cup seems to echo the tranquil optimism of the 1960s: its minimalist silhouette allows the gold-lined rhythm of geometry to quietly command attention. The motif pays tribute to the graphic language of the era, when function was elevated through artistic flair. Whether for coffee in the morning or afternoon tea, the cup frames each ritual in the spirit of postwar fascination with modernity and design—an object that seems to recount its travels, bridging Polish craftsmanship and European
