ABOUT PRODUCTID 12592
This decorative glass compote was produced by the Polish manufacturer HSG Ząbkowice in the 1970s, embodying the Art Deco style with echoes of mid-20th-century design. The form features a balanced platter with a raised center supported by a pedestal base that flares gently towards the bottom for stability. Its delicate, translucent light-green glass is enhanced by radiating pressed patterns—geometric lines flow outward from the center and down the base, creating visual continuity. The rim is scalloped, adorned with subtle ridges and gentle undulations. The glass has a glossy, lustrous finish that reflects the light, while small bubbles and minor irregularities from the pressing process underscore its vintage authenticity. The piece has a stable construction and harmonious proportions. Condition is very good: no signs of damage or restoration, with original patina intact.This object serves as a testament to everyday Polish tables of the mid-20th century, reflecting a shift in taste and a desire for new aesthetic directions. The shimmering green surface would catch the light in homes furnished in postwar modernist spirit, while the geometric decoration evokes a pursuit of order and refinement. Each radiating line and the gentle wave of the rim tell the quiet story of an era that sought harmony between ornament and function, even in practical vessels.This platter can be displayed on a wooden credenza or within a vintage glass cabinet. It pairs well with minimalist, light-toned settings as well as darker wood or collections of 1960s ceramics. One might combine it with other geometric glass dishes or cut crystal goblets to accentuate the retro character in mid-century modern arrangements, or enliven contemporary spaces with a touch of fresh color and classic glasswork.
