ABOUT PRODUCTID 19498
This vintage appetizer platter, attributed to Jan Sylwester Drost and produced in Poland in the 1970s, reflects a distinctly modernist spirit in postwar Polish glass design. Fashioned from thick pressed glass in a rich, honey-amber yellow with a subtle golden hue, it presents an organic, irregular wavy rim and a boldly textured, rippling surface. The central area is divided into stepped, smoothly raised ridges that provide natural sections for separating appetizers or snacks. The even thickness and precision of the textured finish attest to the pressed glass technique and the advanced craftsmanship of its era. No visible damage, chips, or restoration; the platter is preserved in very good condition, retaining a natural patina in keeping with its age.This piece channels an era when everyday glassware emerged as sculptural, functional art. The undulating perimeter and diffused gloss reflect the avant-garde aspirations of the 1970s, when forms were meant to intrigue as much as to serve. Every beam of light scattered across the honeyed surface recalls a time when Polish glass design spoke through bold color and abstract geometry—a language of modernity understood at every table.This platter could be paired with other PRL-era accessories or minimalist contemporary tableware, its architectural silhouette accentuated against a neutral setting—marble, bleached wood, or grey stone. It would serve well as a focal point on a dining table in mid-century modern interiors, complemented by ceramic bowls or clear glassware to highlight its saturated color and striking relief. It may be combined with lighting in a warm spectrum, to reveal the full depth of the golden amber glass.No technical dimensions
