ABOUT PRODUCTID 31107
This very large pitcher, designed by Ludwik Fiedorowicz for the Ząbkowice glassworks in the 1960s, stands as a distinctive example of Polish utilitarian design from the PRL era. Crafted from thick, colored glass in an intense red-orange hue, its saturated, warm tone and high-gloss finish attract immediate attention. The robust, clear glass handle provides a striking contrast to the vibrant body, while decorative pressed patterns add visual depth and texture to the surface. The pitcher’s sculptural form features a pronounced, rounded base and a gently flared rim—characteristics that reflect both mid-century modern and retro aesthetics, as well as the era’s focus on practicality. The smooth, glossy glass is pleasant to the touch, and the solid construction ensures stability and ease of use. The piece is in good vintage condition, with minor scratches mainly on the bottom, typical for its age and use, and no cracks or chips.
The pitcher’s form evokes the optimism and vitality of the 1960s, when colored glassware became a symbol of modernity in Polish homes. Its fiery body, shimmering in the light, seems to recount a time when everyday objects were designed for both beauty and durability. The transparent handle completes this narrative, lending a sense of lightness and inviting touch during family gatherings or festive meals. The subtle pressed design hints at a tradition of craftsmanship and the desire to grant each vessel a unique, individual character.
This pitcher can serve as a central accent on a dining table or in the living room—
