This sugar bowl from the 1950s, produced by Huta Hortensja in Poland, exemplifies the utilitarian elegance of pressed glassware of its era. The main body is crafted from clear glass with a slightly cool tone, adorned with a faceted geometric pattern composed of vertical panels. The upper rim and the gracefully arched handle are made of chromed brass, featuring a mirrored surface and a straightforward, functional profile. Visible metal joints highlight the object’s industrial origin. The bowl’s proportions are compact, with a wide mouth and gently tapering base creating a harmonious silhouette. The glass surface is smooth, with a subtle texture from the pressing process, while the metal parts show minor patina and occasional spots typical of well-preserved vintage tableware. Condition is very good – no chips or cracks in the glass and only minimal signs of age on the metal.This piece echoes the tone of postwar modernism – form shaped by function, yet softened by decorative nuance. Its geometric outline and the sheen of chromed brass recall the spirit of 1950s Polish design, when everyday objects became vessels of modernity. The transparent glass, segmented by vertical rhythm and catching light along its edges, tells the story of an era where craftsmanship and simplicity were in constant dialogue.In interior arrangements, the sugar bowl can be paired with porcelain cups of restrained decoration or other glassware from the same era, creating a cohesive collection on a dining table or within a home sideboard. It would also serve as a refined accent on a breakfast tray beside a minimalist milk jug, while in a contemporary kitchen, it can be combined with other chromed or clear glass objects to highlight its graphic lines and subtle sheen. It is well-suited to art déco-inspired settings as well as mid-century modern collector’s interiors.
