ABOUT PRODUCTID 11522
This salt cellar from the 1930s, produced by HSG Ząbkowice, exemplifies Polish pressed glass in a warm, golden-amber hue. The low, wide bowl features thick walls and a solid, heavy base, reflecting its utilitarian roots. The exterior is decorated with rhythmic vertical ribbing characteristic of Art Deco, creating a geometric, architectural pattern. The glossy glass surface enhances the depth of color, while the subtle exterior relief offers a tactile contrast to the smooth interior. No additional fittings or ornamentation distract from the purity of the material and the precision of the mold. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no signs of restoration, damage, or wear.This salt cellar carries the quiet voice of interwar Polish daily life—an era when even utilitarian tableware aspired to embody modern elegance. The amber sheen evokes morning light on a family table, while the ribbed edges recall the rhythm of 1930s urban architecture. Each detail speaks to an age where function and form balanced harmoniously, and even a salt cellar could become an expression of aesthetic ambition.The cellar may be paired with Art Deco porcelain or simple utilitarian glassware to highlight its geometric pattern. It would suit a classic table setting or serve as a collector’s piece in a glass display cabinet, where its warm hue would be accentuated by neutral fabrics and dark wood surfaces. In light, minimalist interiors, it could be combined with clear glass and polished metal accents to achieve a subtle, historically grounded elegance.
