ABOUT PRODUCTID 13873
This pressed glass napkin holder, produced by Huta Bolesław Morawski in Radomsko, Poland, in the 1950s, is a distinct example of Polish Art Deco design. The construction features a fan-shaped silhouette with six clear segments, each adorned with a raised leaf motif in relief. Its primary color is a cool, slightly frosted transparent glass, exhibiting a subtle matte appearance with smoother, satin-like areas interrupted by distinctly matte textured decoration. The round base, decorated with a geometric starburst pattern, is polished and reflective, providing a visual counterpoint to the sculpted top. The proportions are balanced and symmetrical, with geometric lines and stylized botanical elements consistent with the Art Deco aesthetic. The object is preserved in very good condition, showing only minimal aging typical of carefully handled vintage glass, with no visible damages or replaced parts.This piece echoes the optimism of the postwar era: its fan-like contour suggests an openness to the future, while the leaf detailing embodies Art Deco's affinity for stylized nature. The interplay of translucent and frosted surfaces tells a story of shifting light in 1950s interiors—where everyday objects were crafted with consideration for both form and artistry. The star-shaped motif at the base highlights the Polish tradition of marrying function with ornamental finesse, prominent in pressed glassware of the period.This napkin holder could be positioned as a refined centerpiece on a dining or coffee table, paired with minimalist porcelain or cut glass to emphasize its modernist heritage. It would harmonize with other period accents, such as metal candlesticks or veneered sideboards, creating a cohesive arrangement in Art Deco- or mid-century-inspired interiors. Combining it with neutral textiles and silver-toned accessories would accentuate the glass's
