This ceramic mug, produced by SPiLA Bolesławiec in the 1970s, exemplifies the era’s Polish ceramic craftsmanship. Formed from sturdy porcelite, it is covered in a warm, medium-dark brown glaze with a mirror-like, lustrous finish. The cylindrical silhouette is complemented by a strongly articulated handle and an integrated thumb rest, reflecting the functional and geometric tendencies of late modernist design. Encircling the body is a decorative relief of sea fauna—most notably, a prominent crayfish or lobster—executed in the same brown glaze but standing out due to its pronounced, tactile presence. The sleek surface, except for the textured relief, is smooth to the touch. The interior is equally well-glazed and remains free from any stone residue or discoloration. The base and handle are robustly constructed, the foot neatly integrated, and the bottom bears a signature verifying its origin. No cracks, chips, crazing, or signs of use are visible: the mug is preserved in excellent condition. This object echoes the spirit of 1970s Poland—a period when even the most functional vessels bore traces of modernist bravery and imaginative design. The raised crayfish relief conjures memories of the era’s fascination with playful motifs and tactile decoration in daily objects. Brown glaze reflects light and imparts visual weight, while the mug’s angular handle suggests readiness for use—almost as if it still waits to be lifted during convivial gatherings or
