This butter dish from the 1930s is an example of pressed glass tableware created during Poland's flourishing Art Deco period by Huta Hortensja, Piotrków Trybunalski. Made from pressed glass in a cool, translucent light green shade, the design features a geometric, rectangular body with vertical panels and sharply defined edges, exemplifying the architectural and modernist spirit of the decade. The lid is topped by a faceted, octagonal knob, serving both functional and compositional purposes. The piece is devoid of decorative patterns or color accents, instead highlighting subtle molding lines from production. It remains in very good vintage condition, free from visible damage or signs of restoration, and preserves its authentic character.Within this object, one hears the quiet assertion of an era that saw beauty in measured form and thoughtful proportion. The clear green glass suggests clarity and freshness, as if seeking to capture a summer morning on the breakfast table. The faceted handle reflects light, offering the impression of a small architectural detail – a calm, disciplined gesture from the world of Art Deco. This is a utilitarian object that, even today, carries the lightness and optimism embedded in the rituals of modernity.In an interior, the butter dish pairs well with geometrically styled porcelain or contrasting white modernist tableware. It can serve as a focal accent on a light wood sideboard or as part of an Art Deco glassware collection. The piece may be combined with other shades of fresh glass—such as
