ABOUT PRODUCTID 19678
This cake stand plate, made of thick, poured glass in a warm transparent pink with amber undertones, is a representative piece of Polish Art Deco from the 1930s. Manufactured at the Hortensja Glassworks, the plate displays a low, wide proportion and an all-over glossy finish. The centerpiece is a deeply pressed radial sunburst pattern whose sharp lines catch the light with visual depth and clarity. The plate’s circumference is defined by gently scalloped, faceted edging, creating a subtle floral motif. The glass is robust and heavy—typical of machine-pressed utilitarian tableware of the interwar era—with small air bubbles and minor mold marks visible upon close inspection. There are no signs of damage, repairs, or restoration—the condition is very good and original.This dish evokes a time when Polish households celebrated daily rituals on festive tableware, and every homemade cake was presented with a sense of occasion. The sunburst motif symbolizes the optimism and modernity characteristic of interwar design, while the softly gleaming glass tells the story of early urban interiors that quietly echoed international aesthetics. Each detail resonates with memories of artful cinema and the everyday quiet elegance of the 1930s.It could serve as a centerpiece for cakes, pastries, or fruit during gatherings in a living room or dining area. The plate pairs well with classic white linen, geometric porcelain, or chrome-plated accessories. In Art Deco-inspired settings, it would combine effectively with a black lacquer tray, a gilded mirror, or glassware in contrasting hues such as emerald or cobalt. It would also complement vintage collector’s interiors or modernist tabletops, offering a refined historical accent.
