ABOUT PRODUCTID 32305
This pair of ice cream cups from the 1970s is a notable example of Polish utilitarian design, crafted by the Ząbkowice Glassworks. Made from clear pressed glass with a cool, slightly bluish undertone, each cup stands on a solid, faceted stem with a broad, stable foot. The bowl is adorned with embossed neoclassical motifs—oval medallions framed by rope-like borders and stylized leaf patterns—and features vertical fluting that adds both tactile and visual depth. The rim is finished with a scalloped edge, while the glass surface combines smoothness with the subtle relief of raised designs. Both cups are preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear. The listed price is for the set of two cups. These cups evoke the spirit of the 1970s: Poland at the time sought a balance between everyday functionality and decorative appeal, drawing inspiration from historical motifs and translating them into accessible, daily-use forms. Ząbkowice glass softly reflects the light with a cool clarity, while the pronounced embossing recalls summer afternoons and homemade desserts—a vessel for the quiet ritual of family celebration and understated luxury. The cups can be used to serve ice cream, sorbets, or layered desserts on a thoughtfully set table. They may be paired with classic white porcelain or colorful vintage glassware for an eclectic, collector’s composition. Suitable for vintage-inspired, neoclassical, or contemporary interiors that value historic detail and the delicate play of light on transparent surfaces. Each cup measures 13 cm in height and 11.5 cm in diameter. The pressed glass is easy to care for and resistant to typical use. All elements remain original and
