ABOUT PRODUCTID 11523
The Helena (Milenium) cup and saucer, produced by the Wawel factory in Poland in the 1970s, exemplifies mid-century modern porcelain distinguished by geometric lines and decorative finishes. The cup is coated in a warm, golden-brown marbled glaze with a high-gloss, almost metallic sheen. The upper rim and handle are finished with a mirror-like gold glaze, while the interior is entirely gold, reflecting light and emphasizing the set’s decorative appeal. The saucer features a square form with rounded corners and a marbled pattern in beige and brown; a subtle geometric relief decorates the edge. The porcelain surface is uniformly smooth and glossy, showing no visible cracks or chips. Condition: good, with no significant signs of wear.The form and color palette evoke the spirit of 1970s Polish modernism: geometric order meets an affinity for shine and color experimentation. The gold, mirror-like interior suggests a desire to introduce a theatrical touch to everyday rituals, while the marbled glaze reflects the pursuit of individuality even in utilitarian objects. This porcelain echoes an era that found opportunities for mood and distinction in the simplicity of form.The Helena cup and saucer would suit a living or dining room arranged in the mid-century modern spirit, and could be paired with light ceramics or glassware to highlight the gold accents and geometric saucer. It may also work well in an eclectic setting with other 1970s tableware, and when placed on a wooden tray or marble surface, the contrast of textures will enhance its decorative character. The set is also suitable as a collector’s piece, displayed on an open shelf alongside other examples of vintage Polish porcelain.
