ABOUT PRODUCTID 18459
This set of five crystal dessert plates from the Hortensja Glassworks in Poland, crafted in the 1930s, embodies the precision and artistry characteristic of the Art Deco period. Each plate is made from clear, colorless crystal, allowing light to play across the glossy, polished surface. Subtly scalloped and geometrically profiled rims frame a central engraved starburst motif, surrounded by a narrow band of finely cut facets and lines. The craftsmanship is meticulous: the edges are perfectly regular, finished to a smooth polish, with no air bubbles, chips, or scratches. The overall condition is very good, with each piece free from significant signs of use—a testament to the enduring quality of interwar Polish crystal production by Hortensja Glassworks.The interplay of light within these plates recalls the spirit of the 1930s, when Art Deco sought harmony between ornament and function. The simplicity of form meets precise geometric detailing, while the star-shaped heart of each plate hints at a time when utility could be as consciously theatrical as any piece of art. These crystal dishes quietly echo their era—a dance of reflection, symmetry, and understated brilliance.Best suited for serving classic desserts, jellies or fine pastries, these plates pair well with silver cutlery or minimalist modernist tableware. They also work as subtle decorative highlights in a collector’s interior, arranged atop a sideboard or console among objects from the same era to emphasize the crisp linearity of Art Deco. Their transparent crystal can be combined with matte ceramics or richly colored glassware, creating a composition true to the spirit of the 1930s.There are no special care instructions supplied by the manufacturer, but as with all traditional crystal glassware, it is recommended to wash gently by hand in lukewarm
