ABOUT PRODUCTID 12587
This black glass cake stand from the 1970s, produced by Huta Ząbkowice in Poland, epitomizes the era’s blend of practicality and decorative value. The form is defined by a robust, cylindrical stem adorned with pronounced grooves for enhanced grip and visual interest, leading up to a broad, smooth plate. The top is finished with a scalloped edge inspired by flower petals, while a radial stamped pattern evokes the sunburst motifs characteristic of mid-century modern aesthetics. The entire piece is crafted from pressed glass in a deep, glossy black, highlighting the controlled precision of its manufacture. The item is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damages or repairs.This object carries the spirit of 1970s Polish utilitarian design, where bold colours and dynamic details brought a sense of modernity to everyday living. The cake stand seems to recall an era when household items were meant to introduce optimism and contemporary flair—a gleaming presence amid the monochrome photographs of family gatherings. The flowing edge and radiant pattern emphasize the importance of surface detail, designed to catch the eye at festive tables.Within an interior, the cake stand can be displayed on a modern veneered dining table or a minimalist console, where its glossy black stands out against pale wood or neutral ceramics. It may serve as a central feature during gatherings, or be combined with white porcelain, crystal stemware, or geometric vases to enhance its mid-century modern character. Vintage, PRL-inspired, or curated contemporary spaces could all benefit from its decorative qualities, especially when paired with natural textiles and warm-toned metals.
