ABOUT PRODUCTID 11481
This Art Deco napkin holder, manufactured by Huta Hortensja in Poland during the 1950s, is crafted from pressed glass in a transparent, subtly warm yellowish hue. The fan-shaped silhouette features stepped, geometric edges that emphasize verticality, while the wide, stable base echoes the main motif with harmoniously integrated relief. The front and sides are adorned with precisely embossed floral and linear patterns, creating a richly textured surface that contrasts with the smooth, glossy glass. The tactile raised elements and crisp lines reflect careful mid-century craftsmanship. There are no visible damages, chips, or cracks; the condition is very good, with only minimal, natural traces of age such as slight surface wear.In this compact form, one hears the voice of Polish mid-century design: geometric clarity and embossed decoration evoke the optimism of the postwar Art Deco period, which permeated everyday objects. The glass's light-reflecting quality recalls the ambience of bright 1950s living rooms, where practicality intertwined with thoughtful ornamentation. The textured surfaces narrate a story of striving for harmony between refined craft and mass production—this napkin holder stands as a witness to an era balancing decorative flair with utility.This piece can be paired with porcelain from the same period or displayed on an oak sideboard, where its geometric lines emphasize the character of the furniture. It would serve as an accent on a classic dining table, alongside vintage glass bowls or amidst other transparent decorations. An interior inspired by Art Deco—with accessories in simple forms and metallic details—will highlight the qualities of this glass miniature, though the napkin holder will also find its place in more eclectic, collector-oriented arrangements.
