This cake serving set for six, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for the Ząbkowice Glassworks in the 1970s, is a quintessential expression of Polish utilitarian modernism. The set comprises six dessert plates, each 21.5 cm in diameter, and a large serving platter measuring 32 cm, all crafted from pressed glass mass-colored in a warm amber hue. The glossy finish enhances the depth of color and the interplay of light and shadow, emphasizing the material’s solidity and the precision of its execution. The most distinctive feature is the intricate 'dew drop' relief on the underside of each piece—a regular, raised texture that contrasts with the perfectly smooth upper surface, ensuring both decorative and functional qualities. All elements are consistent in color and design, confirming the authenticity of the set. The condition is excellent and collector-grade, with no visible signs of wear or damage.This set tells the story of 1970s Polish design—a period when craftsmanship met modernity and everyday objects were elevated to artistic status. The amber glass evokes the sensation of light passing through morning dew; the reliefs on the undersides of the plates and platter seem to shimmer with tiny reflections, creating a subtle play of light and texture at the table. Each piece carries the atmosphere of family gatherings and celebration, while also standing as a testament to the designer’s mastery and the expertise of the Silesian glassworks.The set may be introduced into interiors inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics, where geometric simplicity and noble materials highlight the authenticity of objects with history. It works well on contemporary tables made of light wood or minimalist stone surfaces; it can be paired with neutral-toned ceramics or silver cutlery to emphasize the warmth of the amber glass. In vintage collector’s spaces, the set will serve not only
