ABOUT PRODUCTID 12628
This Art Deco decanter, created in the 1930s by Huta Józefina in Poland, is crafted from thick, blown glass with a rich, deeply saturated ruby red hue. The perfectly spherical body and heavy, multi-faceted stopper exemplify the era’s fascination with geometric harmony and bold proportion. A highlight is the silver-plated decorative motif: a stylized sailing ship with full wind-billowed sails, gliding atop rhythmic, etched waves—a visual signature of the Art Deco period’s graphic language. The surface is highly polished and reflective, emphasizing both the depth of the red and the precision of its execution. The decanter remains in very good condition, with only slight traces of patina or occasional minor wear to the silver, entirely consistent with an authentic item of this vintage. All components, including the stopper, are original and period-correct.In this object, the optimism and urban sophistication of the 1930s is palpable—the lavish ruby glass recalls an era that valued both sumptuous materials and balanced, architectural forms. The sailing ship, rendered in gleaming silver, evokes stories of distant journeys and the new frontiers that inspired Europe’s imagination between the wars. The glass’s smoothness, the graphic clarity of the motif, and the weighty presence of the decanter together define it as both a decorative and functional artwork, poised to serve in contemporary ritual as it once did in the salons of its time.The decanter could be displayed on a low sideboard or drinks trolley, ideally amid furniture with clean, rectilinear lines and accessories from the 1920s and ’30s—such as chrome
