ABOUT PRODUCTID 19781
The pressed glass bonbonniere produced by Hortensja Glassworks in the 1950s exemplifies robust, thick-walled Polish soda glass. Crafted in clear, medium-cool transparent glass, its surface features sharply defined geometric and abstract reliefs—arched lines, stylized star motifs, and textured bands accentuate the form. The lid is precisely matched and topped with a streamlined handle, integrated as part of the Art Deco-inspired silhouette. Mold lines reveal the pressing technique, while semi-gloss areas alternate with matte textures on the raised patterns, testifying to mid-century Polish glassmaking. No significant chips or cracks are visible—only minor surface scratching and some interior clouding, both typical of glassware from the 1950s. The condition is described as very good.This bonbonniere echoes the postwar decades, when the spirit of Art Deco influenced Polish design, seeking harmony and dynamism within everyday forms. Its crisp reliefs seem to trap light in bright flashes, while the solid, heavy form speaks to a time when objects balanced everyday utility with the decorative urge. The rhythm of the pattern evokes confidence and order, as if both design and light held special significance in a world rediscovering beauty.The bonbonniere could take center stage on a living room table, pairing well with porcelain or classic ceramics to highlight an Art Deco touch. It can become a bold accent atop a minimalist console or sideboard—ideally combined with other 1950s pressed glassware, glasses with etched motifs, or cut crystal mirrors. It would suit both vintage collectors’ interiors and eclectic arrangements that emphasize interplay of historical textures and patterns in light.
