ABOUT PRODUCTID 35360
This glass bonbonniere, shaped like a hen and produced by Ząbkowice in the 1960s, is crafted from thick, milky white glass with a uniform, matte finish. Molded surface details include a clear feather texture on the body and a beaded edge around the lid, while the base features a geometric diamond pattern. The proportions are harmonious—the hen's body forms a precisely fitting lid for the oval bowl below. The glass is substantial and solid, with no additions of other materials. Functional and decorative, the bonbonniere is suitable for storing small items, sweets, or jewelry. There are minor signs of use, such as a small chip on the tail and slight patina in some areas, but the overall condition is good and authentic, with no modern repairs or interventions. The listed price refers to one piece only. This piece reflects the broader trend of mid-20th-century utilitarian design, where simplicity of form was often combined with folk-inspired motifs. The milky glass evokes memories of home sideboards and festive tables, when everyday objects carried warmth and a sense of family ritual. The modeled hen seems to recount the era's story, when functional items were also meant to please the eye and reference tradition—here, through a folk symbol of fertility and household abundance. The bonbonniere would work well on a living room console or dining table, serving both practical and decorative purposes. It can be paired with other glassware from the 1960s or with raw-shaped ceramics to achieve a subtle vintage effect with a hint of ethnic folklore. In a
