ABOUT PRODUCTID 12469
This 1950s napkin holder, created at the Bolesław Morawski Glassworks in Radomsko, is a collector’s piece of Polish Art Deco craftsmanship. The design features a solid, hexagonal base in pressed glass, its translucent salmon-pink shade revealing a warm, golden sheen. Semi-translucent surfaces alternate between glossy and matte textures, refracting light across a pattern of geometric embossing and radiating motifs on both faces—the visual signature of the Art Deco era. The piece is adorned with intricately molded patterns, faceted edges, and profiled details, lending optical depth to its compact form. There are no chips, repairs or surface blemishes—condition is described as very good, with all pressed glass detailing exceptionally well preserved and authentic.This object tells a quiet story of postwar optimism and everyday refinement, rooted in the mid-20th-century belief in both decorative form and pragmatic function. Its translucent body appears to catch morning light, scattering it kaleidoscopically across precise ridges. Geometric sunbursts and angular patterns recall a moment when domestic rituals found a sense of grace—even in the simplest items. The subtle blend of gloss and matte surfaces gently evokes the nostalgia of communal tables, where the play of light and shadow was as carefully considered as the object’s utility.Ideal for a vintage-inspired dining room or living space, the holder can be paired with classic wooden surfaces, porcelain tableware, or mid-century glass accessories. It would work well alongside minimalist ceramics, chrome candlesticks, or silver-plated trays, crafting a refined and harmonious arrangement. The item also lends itself to display on a sideboard in a collector’s interior, accentuating an individualistic, curated feel. Combining it with muted textiles and carefully selected vintage objects would allow
