The 'Perełki' compote bowl, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for the Ząbkowice Glassworks in the 1970s, stands as an iconic example of Polish design from that era. Made of pressed glass colored in the mass, it features a striking color gradient that flows from warm yellow and orange at the base to a saturated ruby red at the top. The rim is adorned with a distinctive row of raised glass beads, while vertical ribbing on the bowl creates a play of light and shadow. The sculptural, segmented stem and wide, ribbed foot emphasize the bold geometry and decorative lightness characteristic of mid-century modern style. The glass surface is smooth and high-gloss, with all original elements preserved and no visible signs of wear or restoration—overall in very good condition.This bowl’s form narrates the spirit of a time marked by optimism and creative boldness: the 1970s in Polish design were an era when color and light carried symbolic meaning. The 'Perełki' not only draws the eye with its dynamic gradient but also with its tactile interplay of textures and subtle ornamentation. It seems to have captured the exuberant energy of its decade in glass—vivid, lively, and attuned to both everyday rituals and special occasions.The bowl can be displayed solo on a console or low table in the living room, where its colors become a centerpiece. It fits seamlessly into mid-century modern interiors but would also enrich eclectic, collector’s spaces alongside 1960s ceramics or Murano glass vases. One may pair it with light wood, neutral textiles, or metallic accents to highlight its sculptural silhouette and collectible character.Dimensions: height 21 cm, diameter 24 cm. Material: pressed glass, colored in the mass. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no damage or visible restoration.
