ABOUT PRODUCTID 11518
The 'Helena' cup set from the Wawel Porcelain Factory exemplifies 1970s Polish design, where bold geometry meets decorative expressiveness. This set includes two conical cups with gently flared rims and gilded handles, paired with matching square saucers softened by subtly rounded corners. The porcelain surface features a marbled pattern in warm gold and cream tones, accentuated by a glossy glaze that reveals the depth of color. Each cup’s interior is finished in a highly reflective, metallic gold, serving as a striking detail reminiscent of mid-century modern aesthetics. The porcelain is smooth and highly polished, highlighting the precision of its craftsmanship. The set shows no signs of wear, chips, or cracks—preserved in very good condition.The 'Helena' cups tell the story of an era that balanced a drive for modernity with an affection for noble materials and expressive accents. The golden interiors reflect light like mirrors, evoking the convivial atmosphere of 1970s gatherings, where coffee was a ritual and every detail intentional. The geometric saucers and soft porcelain lines suggest a quest for equilibrium between discipline and freedom, while the marbled pattern speaks to a fascination with texture and color in postwar Polish design.The 'Helena' set can be displayed on a glass shelf in the living room or placed on a low coffee table surrounded by furniture from the 1960s and 1970s. It would be well suited to mid-century modern interiors with wood and brass accessories, as well as eclectic collector’s spaces, where the golden reflections of the porcelain contrast with matte fabrics or raw ceramics. Pairing it with minimalist tableware or handwoven napkins will highlight the unique character of this vintage set.
