ABOUT PRODUCTID 14911
This set of six Ditmar Urbach cups and saucers from the late 1950s exemplifies Central European mid-century modern utilitarian design. Each cup, fashioned from faience, stands out with its cylindrical profile and striking contrast between a glossy black exterior and a pastel-colored interior—the palette spans mint, turquoise, yellow, peach, red, and beige—creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition. The high-gloss finish and subtle gold accents, marking both rim and handle, evoke the refined details that characterized 1950s aesthetics, where geometric simplicity met understated ornamentation. The saucers, minimally shaped and gently concave, provide a quiet background to the vivid cups. Each piece is manufacturer-signed, with even, smooth glazing and carefully joined handles attesting to Ditmar Urbach’s renowned Czechoslovakian craftsmanship. The set remains in very good condition, showing only negligible, authentic signs of use and no chips or cracks. These cups embody the postwar optimism of Central Europe, when practicality in daily rituals collided with bold color and form. Their pastel interiors catch the light of bygone decades, recalling a time when design elevated everyday moments. The golden lines glimmer subtly, conjuring the image of tranquil afternoons in cafés, where coffee or tea became a gentle pause in the day's rhythm. The set speaks in the voice
