This Art Deco decanter, made by the Hortensja Glassworks in Piotrków Trybunalski in the 1930s, is an accomplished example of Polish pre-war glass artistry. The decanter features a gently translucent body made from rosalin glass in a soft pink—slightly peach—hue, its surface smooth and glossy, subtly reflecting light. The silhouette follows a geometric, carefully proportioned design typical of the Art Deco period: a broad, teardrop-shaped lower section smoothly narrows to a short, straight neck. The round, flat foot and solid stopper are realised in hyalite glass, strikingly opaque and jet black, finished to a high, almost mirror-like gloss. The substantial, stepped, domed form of the stopper introduces an architectural note, echoing the ziggurat and skyscraper motifs that defined interwar decorative vocabulary. The joins between the rosalin and hyalite glass are precise and deliberate, attesting to the skilled craftsmanship of the era. The decanter remains in very good visual condition—no chips or cracks are visible, and it preserves a crisp character despite the passage of time.Its form echoes the quiet confidence of the Art Deco age—a period when geometric rigour and strong chromatic contrasts embodied a belief in modernity and bold shapes. Rosalin glass infuses the object with a gentle nostalgia and the atmosphere of pre-war Poland, while the architectural stopper—resembling a miniature skyscraper—reinvokes the dynamism of the 1930s metropolis. This vessel, created originally for daily use, still channels the artistic sensibility and urban optimism that defined the inter
