ABOUT PRODUCTID 11610
This flycatcher from the 1950s, produced by Huta Hortensja in Poland, exemplifies utilitarian pressed glassware of the post-war era. The transparent, subtly greenish body features a bulbous, rounded form that flows into a short, narrow neck. Three delicately rounded feet provide both stability and a sense of geometric lightness, seamlessly integrated with the main body. The glass is smooth and glossy, reflecting light and revealing small air bubbles and irregularities characteristic of hand-pressed production. The absence of decoration or ornamentation highlights its functionality and discreet Art Deco inspiration, while the overall aesthetic leans toward the austere modernism of the mid-20th century. The piece is in very good condition, with only minor scratches and slight cloudiness present—no chips or cracks are visible.This object carries the voice of post-war modernism: a utilitarian item that acquires a quiet dignity through simplicity of form and careful craftsmanship. The cool, faintly green glass evokes the era when even the simplest accessories were made to last. Its restrained silhouette speaks to a time that valued balance between form and function—as if each curve and contour was shaped with deliberate attention. This is a piece that does not conceal its everyday role, yet reveals the beauty found in the most unassuming details.The flycatcher could serve as an understated accent on a shelf with other collectible glass objects, or as a discreet detail on a living room console alongside minimalist ceramics or metal accents. It would work well in mid-century modern arrangements, especially when paired with warm-toned woods and textured textiles that draw out the glass’s greenish hue and underscore its authentic vintage character.
