ABOUT PRODUCTID 30764
This pressed glass fruit bowl, designed by Eryka Trzewik-Drost for HSG Ząbkowice in Dąbrowa Górnicza during the 1970s, is an example of functional Polish mid-century modern design. Made from entirely transparent glass with a cool undertone and moderate clarity, the bowl features a distinctive vertical ribbed pattern that adorns both the wide, flared body and the sturdy, trumpet-shaped pedestal base. Its harmonious proportions are accentuated by a gently scalloped rim and a solid foot, while the subtly matte surface is punctuated by glossy highlights on the raised ribs. All elements are original, with no signs of restoration. The bowl is preserved in very good condition—there are no chips or cracks; minor usage scratches typical of its age may be present. This piece evokes the spirit of 1970s Polish design, when utility met decorative flair. Pressed glass from Ząbkowice speaks of everyday life during the communist era: practical, yet visually expressive. The rhythmic ribbing scatters light across its surface, producing subtle reflections—as if the bowl intended to add a touch of charm to even the simplest table setting. Its shape—open, solid, and unpretentious—reveals the modern yet timeless character of its epoch. The bowl can serve as a fruit dish or a decorative centrepiece in a living room, on a dining table, or atop a sideboard. It may be paired with other vintage glassware or neutral ceramics to highlight its transparency and graphic pattern. Suitable for interiors inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics as well as classic, collector-oriented spaces, its versatility also allows it to stand alone as an accent piece against light or dark surfaces, where the glass texture takes centre stage. The bowl measures 20 cm in diameter and 17.5 cm in height. The listed price refers to a single item.
