This pressed glass decorative bowl, produced by Huta Krosno in 1950s Poland, is a clear example of postwar Art Deco style. Made from thick, smooth glass in a pale, translucent blue, it displays subtle matte areas and shines delicately under light. Its surface is decorated with symmetrical, vertical fluting radiating from the center to the scalloped rim, creating a sharply geometric contour. A starburst pattern adorns the base, typical of mid-century ornamental design, adding optical depth to the piece. The glass feels robust and substantial in hand and remains in very good condition for its age, free of visible damage, chips, or cracks.The bowl seems to speak of an era when decorative quality merged with functionality—postwar Poland embracing the resurgence of everyday aesthetics, supported by the glassmaking tradition of Huta Krosno and the geometric vocabulary of Art Deco. Soft light runs through the blue body, tracing its ribbed surface as it moves, while the star motif on the underside recalls the promise of a new day, proving that utilitarian glass could evoke optimism and understated refinement.This bowl may be displayed as a standalone decorative object on a console or sideboard, or used to hold fruit or seasonal ornaments. It fits well in a collector's or eclectic interior, paired with mid-century books or ceramics. In more contemporary settings, it could be combined with subtly textured fabrics or minimalist clear glass pieces to emphasize its clean geometry and cool blue hue.
