The 'Skamielina' cake serving set, designed by Eryka Trzewik-Drost for the Ząbkowice Glassworks in the 1970s, exemplifies Polish pressed glass with a distinctly sculptural character. The set comprises a central serving platter (approx. 24 cm in diameter) and six dessert plates (approx. 15 cm in diameter), all crafted from thick, clear glass. The upper surface is smooth, while the underside is richly textured with an irregular spiral and a tactile, rugged pattern reminiscent of fossil imprints or cracked ice. The gently undulating, asymmetrical edges reinforce the organic, unrefined aesthetic, while the cool, neutral transparency of the glass allows light to play spectacularly across the surface. The set is preserved in very good condition—free of chips, cracks, or visible signs of use, with the relief remaining crisp and the glass crystal clear.This collection speaks in the voice of Polish 1970s modernism—restrained, yet sensuous in expression. 'Skamielina' leaves behind the era’s geometric tensions, embracing a geological narrative: the sensation is that of touching a mineral drawn from deep time, a memory of ancient seas frozen in glass. Light dances across the relief like sunbeams in an ice grotto, and the organic, irregular texture invites both contemplation and touch. Each plate and platter recounts a fascination with nature, a tactile approach to material, and a style at once modern and archaic.The 'Skamielina' set can be paired with minimalist porcelain, raw linen, or simple vintage cutlery, creating a subtle dialogue between tradition and modernity on the table.
