ABOUT PRODUCTID 12706
This pressed glass compote dish, produced in the 1950s by the HSG Ząbkowice glassworks, is a representative example of Polish mid-century decorative glassware. Crafted from thick, translucent cobalt-blue glass, the piece features a distinctive petal-like, scalloped rim and repeated geometric relief patterns on the underside—motifs drawing from both natural inspiration and Art Deco symmetry. The faceted stem and broad, stable circular foot continue the precise geometry, while the high-gloss surface enhances the vivid depth of its color. The dish shows no visible signs of use, chips, or restoration, retaining its authentic original elements and remaining in very good preservation state.This bowl echoes the spirit of 1950s postwar Poland—a period when everyday glassware combined function with a refined decorative sensibility rooted in expert craftsmanship. The saturated cobalt hue catches the light, casting a cool, modernist atmosphere, while the sculpted geometric patterns whisper of a yearning for harmony and structure in a changing world. The reflective glass surface evokes the moods of Central European Art Deco interiors: sensual yet disciplined, with a graphic presence. This is an object that perhaps once presided over festive tables and family gatherings, where every detail carried weight and memory.The compote dish can serve as a striking centerpiece on a dining or coffee table; it pairs well with wooden mid-century modern furniture or black-and-white ceramics for a strong visual contrast. Placed atop a low console and accented by warm lamp light or clear glass objets in different scales, the dish draws focus and sets rhythm in the arrangement. In an eclectic space, it becomes a bold collectible; in a minimalist setting, it offers a sharp color accent that enlivens a neutral palette.
