ABOUT PRODUCTID 14459
This pair of crystal baskets, produced by Julia Crystal Glassworks in Poland at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, exemplifies the high standards of late-20th-century Polish glassmaking. Each piece is made from perfectly transparent 24% lead crystal, lending notable weight, clarity, and brilliance. The baskets differ in size (height 9 and 18 cm, width 10 and 13 cm, depth 7.5 and 21 cm), yet both display gently rounded forms with gracefully elevated handles. Their entire surface, including the handles, is adorned with deeply cut, hand-executed 'pineapple' motifs and starburst geometric patterns—hallmarks of traditional Silesian crystal decor. The glass surfaces are highly polished, with subtle prismatic accents along the edges, and the overall finishing is precise, underscoring both utility and collector value. The condition is described as very good—there are no visible damages, nicks, or scratches, and no evidence of later restoration. These crystal forms echo the spirit of a threshold era where tradition met the aspirations of modernity. The 'pineapple' cuts recall the memory of past festivities; prismatic light mingles with geometric order, casting a play of color and reflection across the table. The handle, shaped from a single piece of crystal, invites repeated, everyday gestures—serving fruit, offering sweets—carrying with it the legacy of classic parlors and the ritual of family gatherings. The baskets could serve as a decorative centerpiece on a dining or coffee table, and would pair well with vintage ceramics, classic porcelain, or muted textiles that highlight the clarity
