ABOUT PRODUCTID 2846
This porcelain saucer from the Krokus line, designed by Wincenty Potacki for ZPS Ćmielów in 1962, features a minimalist, geometric decoration characteristic of Polish modernism of the 1960s. Its main motif is a cool light green background, intersected by dynamic, asymmetrical white bands bordered by fine, hand-applied gold lines. Additional gilding appears on the rim and around the central cup well. The porcelain surface is smooth and glossy, showing no visible signs of use. The saucer measures 14 cm in diameter, with proportions that are classic for its era. The design balances dynamism and restraint, reflecting the spirit of the 1960s—a blend of order and spontaneity. The hand-applied gilding breaks the perfection of the porcelain surface, evoking a sense of a painterly gesture frozen in time. Gold lines and white bands create a visual rhythm reminiscent of musical notes. The object communicates calm and a refined sense of form, conjuring the quiet moments of everyday coffee rituals where design serves as a silent companion. The saucer can be paired with a cup from the same line or used as an accent piece on a breakfast or coffee table. It works well alongside white or light beige textiles and pairs easily with simple ceramics or glass. Combining it with accessories in earthy tones or subtle gold shades can highlight the hand-finished details. In a minimalist setting or among other vintage pieces, it will define the character of the space, especially when placed in natural daylight or under warm, diffused lighting.
