    For an \(X\neq\emptyset\) and a given family \({\mathcal F}\subset{\mathcal P}(X)\setminus\{\emptyset\}\), we consider the Marczewski field \(S({\mathcal F})\) which consists of sets \(A\subset X\) such that each set \(U\in{\mathcal F}\) contains a set \(V\in{\mathcal F}\) with \(V\subset A\) or \(V\cap A=\emptyset\). We also study the respective ideal \(S^0({\mathcal F})\). We show general properties of \(S({\mathcal F})\) and certain representation theorems. For instance, we prove that the interval algebra in \([0,1)\) is a Marczewski field. We are also interested in situations where \(S({\mathcal F})= S(\tau\setminus\{\emptyset\})\) for a topology \(\tau\) on \(X\). We propose a general method which establishes \(S({\mathcal F})\) and \(S^0({\mathcal F})\) provided that \({\mathcal F}\) is the family of perfect sets with respect to \(\tau\), and \(\tau\) is a certain ideal topology on \(\mathbb{R}\) connected with measure or category.
