This Art Deco decanter from the 1930s, produced at the Hortensja glassworks in Piotrków Trybunalski, exemplifies sophisticated Polish glass design of the era. Its distinctive spherical body is crafted from colorless glass with a soft pink tint, gradually deepening into a warm amber hue toward the base. The decanter is finished with a solid, glossy black stopper visually paired with a round, gleaming black foot, giving the whole piece a strong geometric unity. There is no elaborate ornamentation or engraving—its character relies instead on a minimalist formal language: simple proportions, geometric balance, and subtle gradation of tone. The smooth, lustrous glass surface accentuates the play of light and highlights color depth. Measuring 19.5 cm in height and 11.5 cm in diameter, the decanter remains in very good condition, displaying only minimal traces of use at the rim, and with no chips or cracks. This vessel echoes the voice of Polish Art Deco—a time seeking a synthesis of modernity and artisanal tradition. One might imagine the decanter poised on a sideboard in a 1930s apartment: cool light activating the transition from pink to amber, while the black foot and stopper set a visual rhythm typical of the era’s geometric fascinations. The form expresses the designers’ pursuit of functionality, but the vessel retains an air of refinement—its silhouette, catching the light, still reverberates with an echo of bygone elegance. This decanter would function beautifully as a centerpiece on a dark walnut or rosewood credenza, complemented by cut-glass or colored stemware. It could be combined with low, graphic candlesticks from the same period or a mirrored tray—allowing it to occupy a timeless place within classic or collector’s Art Deco-inspired interiors, as well as within minimalist spaces with a calm, neutral palette.
