ABOUT PRODUCTID 13469
This glass bonbonniere from the 1930s, produced by HSG Ząbkowice in Poland, exemplifies functional decoration in the Art Deco style. Crafted from clear, cool-toned glass, it features a high-gloss finish and an intricate geometric surface pattern of diamonds and faceted motifs, emphasizing play between light and depth. The overall form is an elongated oval—characteristic of Art Deco’s geometric precision, balanced proportions and streamlined silhouette. The lid and body are joined with a metal band, likely silver- or nickel-plated brass, which displays minor signs of patina and subtle discoloration. The construction remains cohesive and sturdy, with no visible modern interventions. The glass is preserved in very good vintage condition, free from cracks or chips; the metal element shows graceful traces of natural aging.The bonbonniere speaks to the era of Polish interwar glassmaking—an age when function and decoration converged on newly geometric foundations. Its transparent body, alive with sparkling facets, reflects the atmosphere of past salons, where small sweets or dried fruits became the pretext for gatherings and conversation. The softly aged metal clasp hints at the passing decades and the artisanal care of Polish glassworks that cultivated a distinctly local take on Art Deco tradition.One might display it as a decorative accent atop a light wood sideboard or console, where natural light will highlight the geometric cuts in the glass. It would work well in contrast with darker finishes—such as an oak display cabinet or black marble—drawing out the piece’s clarity and presence. Pairing it with other 1930s elements, such as chromed lamps, minimalist mirrors, or porcelain figurines, would evoke a thoughtful Art Deco arrangement. Alternatively, the bonbonniere can be juxtaposed with contemporary décor, allowing its tactile quality and timeless proportions to stand out.
