ABOUT PRODUCTID 30779
This decorative glass medallion, designed by Eryka Trzewik-Drost for HSG Ząbkowice, exemplifies Polish design from the 1960s and 1970s, where expressive geometry meets artisanal craftsmanship. The round plaque, approximately 6.5 cm in diameter, is made of pressed glass and available in two color variants: a warm, honey-amber and a fully transparent version. The front features a raised, spiral motif arranged in a triangular pattern, giving the object a subtle, graphic rhythm. The medallion’s surface is smooth and glossy, with occasional tiny air bubbles and minor inclusions characteristic of hand-pressed glass. It is pierced at the top for hanging, with a visible metal loop. The style is minimalist yet decorative, emphasizing geometric abstraction and the skill of its maker. The item is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible cracks, chips, or signs of restoration—minor surface irregularities and air bubbles attest to its authentic, handmade origin. The listed price refers to one piece.
Within these medallions, one can still sense the narrative of Polish mid-century modernism, when abstract forms became the visual language of everyday objects. The spiral motif, enclosed in a small circle, recalls a fascination with geometry and light—showing how glass could be both utilitarian and contemplative. The highly polished surface plays with reflections, as if each piece carries a fragment of its era
