This ceramic drinking set by Ditta Abrhamova, made in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, consists of a pitcher and six matching cups. Each piece is crafted from glazed clay in a natural, earthy terracotta shade, finished with cream-white painted bands and hand-applied wavy patterns. The jug features a classic rounded body, wide mouth, practical spout, and a sturdy handle, while the cups repeat the color scheme and decorative motif in gently conical forms. The transparent glaze gives the surfaces a glossy sheen and ensures their suitability for serving beverages. All decorations are hand-painted, reflecting mid-century Central European folk craft influences. The set remains in excellent condition, with no visible wear, cracks, or signs of restoration – its preservation allows it to fully express the artisanal spirit of its era and origin.The forms and colors speak evocatively of a past everyday – a time when ceramics bore witness to family gatherings and rituals of hospitality.

It pairs well with linen napkins, olive-tinted glassware, or small accents in wood. The set would fit seamlessly into rustic, folk-inspired interiors as well as more eclectic spaces – whether as a collector’s
