ABOUT PRODUCTID 13580
This salt cellar from the 1930s, produced by the Ząbkowice glassworks in Poland, embodies the functional craftsmanship of Polish Art Deco. Its compact, round form is crafted from pressed glass in a warm amber-orange tone, exhibiting a translucent, glossy finish. Thick walls and a sturdy, flat base provide both stability and durability for everyday use. The exterior features rhythmic, vertical ribbing—a geometric motif quintessential to the era that lends the piece an architectural structure. The smooth interior offers a tactile contrast to the ribbed exterior, while the proportions emphasize its practical character. The salt cellar is in very good condition, without chips or cracks, and remains entirely original.This small vessel reflects the spirit of the 1930s—a time when everyday objects began to take on the qualities of decorative mini-sculptures. The geometric rhythm of the ribs evokes Art Deco’s fondness for order and symmetry, while the amber hue calls to mind the warm lighting of interwar salons and kitchens, where such objects demonstrated attentiveness to detail and table aesthetics. As light softly refracts through the glass, there is a sense of returning to moments when daily rituals unfolded amid family conversation.The salt cellar may be displayed on an oak dining table, especially in settings referencing Art Deco or collector’s eclecticism. It can be paired with porcelain tableware, minimalist glassware, or silver cutlery to highlight the quality of vintage utilitarian glass. Whether as a single contrasting accent on a modern shelf or as part of a larger composition with other glassware in warm, vintage tones, it brings a subtle historical presence to any interior.
