ABOUT PRODUCTID 12722
This set of six dessert plates from the 'dew drops' (asteroid) series, designed by Jan Drost for HSG Ząbkowice in Poland during the 1970s, exemplifies the precise, modernist glass design emerging from the era of socialist modernism. Made of clear, colorless glass with a cool, transparent tone, the plates feature a simple, shallow, circular form with gently rounded edges. The glass surface is uniformly frosted, providing a matte finish that subtly contrasts with glossy reflections along the rim. At the center, a decorative motif of evenly arranged, raised droplets forms concentric circles—an iconic reference to morning dew and a hallmark of Polish design’s tactile experimentation in the 1970s. Outside the ornamented zone, the glass remains smooth to the touch, while the overall proportions are harmonious and thoughtfully considered. The set is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips or damage, only minor signs of use and slight variations in transparency typical of glass from this period.These plates seem to narrate a chapter in the story of Polish modernism, when designers at Ząbkowice strove for innovation through experiments in light and texture. The relief droplets create shifting displays of light, echoing miniature installations that transform as one moves around the table. The understated detail and restrained form convey the optimism characteristic of the 1970s, a time when design was intended not just
