ABOUT PRODUCTID 11553
The Ira cup and saucer set, produced by Chodzież in Poland in the 1970s, exemplifies mid-century modern utilitarian porcelain. The smooth, high-gloss black surface of the porcelain serves as a backdrop for a gold crackle motif, applied using a tampography technique. This web-like pattern covers the entire outer surface of the cup and the upper part of the saucer, contrasting vividly with the deep black base. Gold lines accentuate the rims and the geometrically shaped, gold-finished handle, highlighting the restrained, clear form and proportions typical of 1970s design. The cup flares gently towards the top, while the saucer remains flat with a subtly uplifted edge. The porcelain appears smooth and flawless, with no signs of damage or restoration; the decoration is complete and original. Condition: very good, with no visible signs of wear.The interplay of black and gold evokes a period when everyday rituals like coffee took on a celebratory air. This set could tell a story of slow afternoon conversations, where light reflected from the crackle pattern created a mosaic of glints across the table. It is porcelain that does not seek ostentation, but allows for a gesture of refinement—an echo of an era when elegance was found in accessible details.The set would work well in interiors inspired by mid-century modern or in eclectic, collector's spaces. It may be paired with a simple wooden tray or a glass jug with geometric lines to emphasize its decorative qualities. Combining it with linen napkins and ceramics in muted tones can enhance the effect of the gold accents and deep black. The cup and saucer can serve as a subtle accent on a shelf or coffee table, or become a refined element in a vintage porcelain display.
