The central image is a classic example of the “Wiener Liebe” (Viennese Love) motif—an iconic romantic scene popular on Polish porcelain from the 1960s and 1970s. Inspired by 18th- and 19th-century Viennese aesthetics, it typically features finely dressed couples in idyllic, garden-like settings. This nostalgic pattern became a hallmark of mid-century decorative porcelain in factories like Chodzież, Wałbrzych, and Ćmielów, and remains cherished by collectors today.
