This pair of candlesticks from the Ząbkowice Glassworks, dating from the 1960s and 1970s, exemplifies the artistry of Polish utilitarian design. Crafted from deep black, mass-colored hyalite glass, the candlesticks feature a smooth, highly polished surface that reflects light and enhances their striking form. The design merges geometric rigor with ornamental refinement: the domed bases are adorned with a band of diamond motifs, while the faceted stems rise to flared, scalloped candle holders. The balanced symmetry and proportions evoke the mid-century modern aesthetic with subtle neoclassical references. All elements are original, with glass free from damage or restoration—patterns and edges remain crisp and well defined. Each candlestick measures 23 cm in height and 10.5 cm in base diameter. The listed price applies to the set of two. Condition: very good, with no visible signs of use.The glossy black glass tells the story of the 1960s—a time when modernity embraced a desire for timeless elegance. The interplay of light and shadow across their surfaces evokes evenings where simplicity and ornament lived side by side. Each detail—from the geometric engravings to the soft transitions of form—offers a discreet nod to the glassmaking tradition of Ząbkowice, while carrying the spirit of mid-century experimentation.These candlesticks could be paired with minimalist porcelain in white or grey to accentuate the sculptural silhouette created by the contrast of black and light. They work equally well on a mid-century dining table or in eclectic interiors with a retro touch. They might also be combined with linen-textured napkins or an elegant wooden tray, highlighting both their practical and decorative qualities.
