The 'Joanna' cup from Ćmielów represents a notable example of 1970s Polish porcelain developed in the mid-century modern style. Its construction is defined by a gently flared, oval-shaped bowl with a smooth, glossy surface and an ergonomically designed handle, fully finished in lustrous metallic gold. The lower section features a deep burgundy band, while the upper part exhibits classic white or cool light-grey porcelain—various editions include marble-like, clouded patterns as well as graphic decorations with stylized playing card suit symbols (heart, diamond, club) rendered in vivid red and black. The matching saucer is subtly concave, rhythmically complementing the cup’s lines and highlighted with gold along the edge, mirroring the rim and base accents. Select versions have a broad, reflective gold band encircling the interior, adding further dimension. The entire set remains free of chips, cracks, or any traces of use, with all original decoration intact. The cup is preserved in very good condition.In this piece resonates the spirit of a decade when modernity was captured through clarity of form and a touch of graphic playfulness in the objects of everyday life. The juxtaposition of burgundy and white—contrasting yet balanced—evokes memories of afternoon gatherings, when a simple cup of coffee offered a brief encounter with refinement. The stylized playing card motifs, arranged almost like miniature puzzles on porcelain, echo the era’s optimism, when even daily ritual could unfold on a subtle stage, inviting a momentary pause and quiet reflection.The 'Joanna' series can be paired with its original set or combined with geometric teapots and
