The ‘Ring Around’ bowl is an example of mid-century modern decorative glass, manufactured by HSG Ząbkowice in Poland during the 1950s. Its body, made from pressed glass, captivates with a translucent, cool green hue, subtly shifting in tone due to the thickness of the glass and its interaction with light. The bowl features a scalloped, petal-like rim and a relief décor that wraps around the form, creating an organic yet symmetrical motif characteristic of the mid-century modern style. It is supported by a short, multi-faceted geometric base which merges visual stability with decorative flair. The rim and the foot display crisper detailing, while the arcs of the bowl remain smooth and gently flowing. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with only minimal signs of wear typical for vintage mid-century glass.This glass centerpiece resonates with the spirit of postwar modernity – its cool green form evokes the optimism and freshness that shaped the early years of European reconstruction after WWII. Soft, regular lines and decorative relief seem to suggest: "Every day deserves a little light." It quietly shimmers when sunlight or lamplight graces it, capturing glints like morning dew on leaves, evoking memories of a time when functional objects were crafted as domestic art.‘Ring Around’ may be placed on a coffee table in the living room alongside minimalist ceramics or natural wood, with material contrasts subtly highlighting its modernist pedigree. It works as a central accent on a console table, especially amidst pastels or muted tones typical of mid-century settings. Equally, the glass bowl can be paired
