ABOUT PRODUCTID 19396
This round tray, produced by the Hortensja glassworks in Poland during the 1950s, exemplifies the Polish tradition of 'rozalinowe' glass – a transparent material in delicate, powder-pink tones. It features a thickened, smoothly rounded rim and a refined, glossy surface, conspicuously free of decorative motifs, etchings, or handles. The form relies entirely on the quality of the material and purity of line – uniform, balanced, and with a clearly defined edge that functions as a gentle frame. There are no wooden, metal, or composite elements present. Minute inclusions and the characteristic fine marks present attest to both age and handcraftsmanship. The tray is preserved in good condition, showing only minor signs of use, with no cracks or significant chips.The lustre of pink glass and its rosy hue continue to narrate a story of their epoch: the 1950s, a period marked by the transition from decorative Art Deco towards functional Modernism in applied arts. Instead of embellishment, the tray communicates through restraint – soft curvature, the play of light, and elegantly reduced means. Light echoes across its surface, conjuring an evocation of mid-century salons where simplicity entwined with everyday sophistication.The tray offers a broad range of arrangement possibilities – it may be combined with ceramics in neutral, earthy palettes or with glass vessels in contrasting colors, thus accentuating its blush shade. Particularly effective on a wooden or marble surface, it can serve as a dish for fruits or sweets, or as a standalone decorative piece upon a table, sideboard, or console. It will resonate equally well within interiors referencing 1950s modernism or more eclectic, contemporary settings.No detailed technical data or care instructions have been provided. Cleaning with a soft cloth and avoiding substances that could affect the glass's gloss or color is recommended.
