ABOUT PRODUCTID 33779
This fruit bowl from the 1970s, produced by Huta Szkła Ząbkowice in Dąbrowa Górnicza, exemplifies mid-20th-century Central European pressed glass with its vivid, saturated turquoise blue color. Crafted from solid-colored, pressed glass, the bowl features a cool undertone that is consistent throughout the piece. The surface is richly adorned with geometric patterns—cross-hatching, star motifs, and raised draped and fan-like reliefs—creating a dynamic, decorative texture. The glossy finish enhances the depth of color and highlights the interplay of light across the intricate designs. The bowl stands on a sturdy, flared pedestal base with radiating ribbed details, and the faceted stem adds visual interest and dimension. The scalloped rim echoes the decorative motifs, tying the design together. The thick glass ensures durability and stability. The piece is in very good condition, with no signs of damage or restoration.The saturated turquoise hue of this bowl recalls the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish households valued expressive, decorative glassware. This piece might tell the story of an era where everyday objects were crafted with an eye for detail and meant to make a statement at the table. The pressed geometric reliefs reflect light like a shimmering pond; the color draws the eye, and the sculptural form invites a pause to appreciate the artistry of glassmaking.The bowl may be placed on a wooden or marble countertop, where its turquoise glass beautifully contrasts with natural surfaces. It would integrate well into vintage, eclectic, or classic interiors, especially when paired with other pressed glassware or ceramics in neutral tones. Silver or chrome accents would complement
