ABOUT PRODUCTID 13355
This Art Deco era pill box, hailing from 1930s Poland, exemplifies the fusion of faceted crystal glass and minimal metal accents characteristic for the period. The wide, low silhouette draws directly from interwar geometricism: the transparent, softly frosted crystal body is cut into angular planes, reinforcing its sculpted, architectural presence. The lid, made of silver-plated copper, is flat and highly polished, offering a reflective surface that stands in deliberate contrast to the satin finish of the glass beneath. No visible hinges or clasps interrupt the clean lines, emphasizing a seamless profile and a functional clarity inherent in Art Deco. The item's condition is good: the lid carries gentle patina and some light scratches, while the glass interior presents mild cloudiness and residue—hallmarks of genuine vintage with no signs of repair or restoration.Within its compact outline, this object evokes the quiet sophistication of interwar Warsaw or Krakow, when even ordinary pieces were designed with sculptural intent. The pill box tells its story through clear, intersecting planes: the soft opacity of crystal mingling with the crisp reflections of silvered metal, together staging a play of light and shadow reminiscent of an age that blended rigour with sensuality. The metallic sheen brings to mind old dressing tables and apothecaries, where opening such a vessel was a small, daily ritual. Cont
