This chalice-shaped bonbonniere was made in Kraków in the 1960s, embodying the spirit of Polish modernism. Crafted from brass in a semi-matte, cool tone, it features a subtle, naturally developed patina, creating gentle color transitions and authentic markings of age. The conical lid is topped with an abstract, sculptural handle inspired by organic forms popular in the era. The smooth body sits elevated on three splayed legs, each hand-hammered and ending in rounded feet for stability and a visually balanced, light impression. An engraved dedication on the side records its origin as an award from a 1967 youth competition held in Myślenice; the text remains authentic and legible. The piece has not undergone restoration and remains in good condition, with genuine marks of time—visible oxidation and some local surface wear.The object channels the ambitions of 1960s modernism: a period when brass was valued for its character, and geometric restraint coexisted with expressive, sculptural details. The gentle patina offers a tactile link to the past, granting the piece a composed gravity without artifice. The inscribed dedication evokes competitive excitement and the social gatherings of Myślenice’s leisure district—a subtle echo of socialist modernism with a personal, lived-in narrative.This type of trophy would display well on a low sideboard or shelf in a living
