ABOUT PRODUCTID 11654
This glass paperweight from the 1950s, produced in one of Poland’s glassworks—most likely Zawiercie—is a representative example of mid-century modern craftsmanship, emphasizing purity of form and experimentation with color. The piece features an oval, almost egg-shaped silhouette with a smooth, highly polished surface free of sharp edges. Inside the transparent body, dynamic streaks of cobalt blue and green form an organic, irregular pattern visible from every angle. Subtle air bubbles embedded within the glass highlight its artisanal, hand-crafted origin. The paperweight is heavy, stable, and seamless, attesting to the quality of its execution. It remains in very good condition—its surface is smooth, with no chips, cracks, or signs of restoration.This paperweight embodies the spirit of the postwar era, when Polish glassworks—drawing inspiration from international modernism—explored new artistic expression in glass. The simple form captures light and movement, preserving a fleeting moment in solid material. The colored streaks flow like underwater plants or impressionistic brushstrokes, while tiny bubbles point to its handmade nature. Within this object lies the story of a time fascinated by color, experimentation, and elevating the everyday to the status of small-scale art.It can be paired on a desk or sideboard with raw metal or wooden accessories to accentuate its organic form and glass clarity. The paperweight would suit mid-century modern interiors, accompanied by softly lit lamps and monochrome graphics. In eclectic spaces, among vintage keepsakes or minimalist decorations, it would combine well with other glass objects, highlighting its artistic origins and the subtlety of its color accents.
