ABOUT PRODUCTID 19515
This 1970s pressed glass appetizer tray, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for HSG Ząbkowice (Poland), exemplifies Polish mid-century modern glass design. Rendered in thick sodalime glass, it is robust yet visually light due to its clear, frosty transparency. The entire surface features a distinct pebbled texture, giving the bowl a tactile, diffused effect and a matte, satiny sheen. Irregular, softly undulating contours frame the dish, which is divided into three sections by smoothly molded, integral glass partitions. The overall silhouette is asymmetrical and organic, echoing the mid-century modern aesthetic of 1970s Eastern Europe. The piece is preserved in very good condition, without visible cracks, chips, or signs of restoration.The tray’s distinctive ‘ice glass’ texture conjures coolness and the clarity of frozen water, with light softly diffused across the bubbled surface, creating subtle highlights and halos. It speaks in the voice of 1970s Polish functional design—prizing simplicity, utility, and material honesty. Its asymmetric, organic contour is a quiet testament to Drost’s experiments with form and the era’s gentle balance between artistic freedom and practical use.This tray is best presented on a console or low table in the living room. It can be paired with ceramics of raw, matte texture or minimalist metal accessories to emphasize its icy visual and graphic divisions. It works beautifully in mid-century modern interiors, collector’s vintage settings, or alongside other examples of post-war Polish glass. Setting it against a pale backdrop or beside plain, simple shapes will highlight both its softly irregular edge and bold internal segmentation.
