The “Joanna” cup and saucer, produced by the renowned Polish porcelain manufacturer Ćmielów in the 1970s, exemplifies the geometric clarity and restrained elegance of mid-century modern design. The cup features a subtly flared, oval silhouette and a smooth, softly lustrous surface in a cool shade of grey, adorned with a distinctive marbled pattern in darker tones. Each piece is accented with highly reflective metallic gold—a detail meticulously applied along the rims and the sculptural handle—providing a tactile and visual contrast to the understated porcelain body. The gently concave saucer underscores the set’s cohesive proportions and modern rhythm. There are no visible signs of use, chips, or cracks; all decorative elements remain intact and original. The ensemble is preserved in very good vintage condition.This cup embodies the quiet confidence of the 1970s, allowing modernity to resonate through daily rituals. The marbled surface plays with abstraction, bridging the era’s fascination with organic forms and the crisp geometry of contemporary living. Gold accents evoke images of intimate gatherings—afternoon teas transformed into moments of understated indulgence, where every object, no matter how utilitarian, became a subtle marker of luxury and taste characteristic of its time.The “Joanna” set may be paired with angular glass pitchers or displayed on a dark wood tray to reinforce its modernist pedigree. It works equally well in minimalist mid-century inspired interiors—where muted greys and flashes of gold create visual serenity—or within more eclectic, collector’s spaces, where every well-chosen detail serves as a visual focal point. Juxtaposing it with other period porcelain or mixing in contemporary ceramics, metals, or graphite-toned lighting may highlight its graphic structure and timeless appeal.
