ABOUT PRODUCTID 19530
This bonbonniere dates from the 1950s and is crafted from pressed glass in a translucent, cool-toned light blue—its colour distributed evenly, highlighted by more saturated edges and a fluted, decorative finial. The circular form with gently sloping sides embraces classic proportions found in mid-century Central European decorative glass. Ornamentation is a defining feature: sunburst motifs and geometric rays on the lid, vertical ribbing around the body, and finely pressed floral details—all expressions of Art Deco at the close of its prominence in postwar Germany. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, showing no chips, cracks, scratches, or significant signs of wear. The surface remains glossy and reflective, with all the relief patterns retaining their sharpness and depth.Within the chiaroscuro of this bonbonniere lingers a whisper of postwar modernist elegance—a time when even everyday objects were imbued with artistic meaning. The pressed glass, adorned with geometric and floral patterns, reflects an era when a carefully chosen decorative piece testified to the taste of its owners. The subtle blue seems to draw a breath of gentle freshness, as if it held a shard of sunlight from its own time.Placed on a light, minimalist surface, this bonbonniere can serve as a distinctive accent, especially in living rooms styled with touches of Art Deco or understated modernism. It may be combined with metallic accents—chrome or brass—or with clear glass and porcelain in whites and greys, creating a harmonious arrangement that emphasizes both its geometric structure and decorative spirit. The bonbonniere could also be displayed on a console amidst vases or trinket boxes from various eras, building a layered, collector’s composition.
