ABOUT PRODUCTID 100
This glassware set from the 1930s comprises a decanter with a matching faceted stopper and six short glasses, all crafted from thin, hand-cut glass with a cool, bluish undertone characteristic of pre-war European production. Both the decanter and the glasses feature frosted, hand-etched geometric and stylised floral motifs, providing a subtle matte contrast against the glossy surfaces. The decanter displays a conical, gently flared body and a geometric stopper, while the glasses offer thick, stable bases and softly flared rims that echo the main vessel's shape. The glass is finely crafted with smoothly polished edges, reflecting the Art Deco era's emphasis on geometry and stylised ornament. The set shows no signs of damage, chips, or cracks, and has been preserved in excellent condition.Within this ensemble resonates the voice of the 1930s—a period when Art Deco sought to reconcile modern geometry with nature-inspired decoration. The etched motifs scatter light and evoke images of evening gatherings in refined salons, where each detail of the glassware played a part in the atmosphere. The cool tone and interplay of matte and gloss surfaces tell a story of harmony between utility and discreet ornamentation, so typical of interwar design.The set could be used for serving drinks in the living or dining room, where the play of light across the hand-cut patterns becomes an essential part of the table arrangement. It pairs well with a silver tray, porcelain tableware, or minimalist accessories from the era—such as nickel-plated candleholders or geometric bowls. Both Art Deco-inspired interiors and eclectic modernist spaces would benefit from its gentle historical accent, introducing a subtle dialogue between light and form without overwhelming the setting.
