ABOUT PRODUCTID 18634
This salt cellar, produced by HSG Ząbkowice in the 1930s, exemplifies Polish pressed glasswork in a distinctive warm golden-amber hue. Its low, broad, cylindrical form is characterized by thick walls and a substantial, weighty base, highlighting its utilitarian function. Regular, deeply vertical fluted grooves wrap the exterior, creating a rhythmic, architectural motif typical of Art Deco design. The finely faceted top edge adds a multi-angled effect, while the glass’s smooth, glossy finish enhances the depth of color. The interior is perfectly smooth and undecorated, expressing the purity of the material and the precision of craftsmanship. Absence of fittings or handles emphasizes the clarity of form and the uncompromising functionality of the era. The cellar is preserved in very good condition – free of chips, cracks, or visible signs of wear; only subtle air bubbles within the glass hint at traditional production methods.The salt cellar carries the resonance of the interwar period, when even humble tableware reflected a drive towards modernity. The amber glass evokes the gentle glow of morning light on a household table, while the sculpted grooves echo the urbane rhythm of 1930s cityscapes. Every aspect of the form captures the era’s pursuit of harmony between practicality and aesthetic expression, showing how everyday objects embodied the refined ambitions of their time.The salt cellar can be paired with period Art Deco porcelain or simple glassware to emphasize its geometric qualities, or displayed as a collector’s piece behind glass. Its warm hue complements streamlined table settings and polished metal accents, functioning equally well in a classic interior with dark woods and neutral textiles or serving as a historical accent in bright, minimalist spaces alongside transparent glass.
