The HEFRA sugar bowl from the 1970s is an example of postmodern tableware design, where clear, faceted glass with a distinct vertical geometric pattern is paired with a silver-plated brass frame. The body, with its rhythmic glass structure, diffuses light to reveal depth and texture. Broad, sculptural handles curve outward in a fluid gesture, seamlessly joining the stable base, also rendered in matte, gently patinated brass. Visible, well-crafted joints highlight the solidity and sense of proportion characteristic of Warsaw-based HEFRA. The piece is preserved in very good condition: the glass is free from cracks or chips, and the metal shows only minor wear and patina that attest to its vintage character.This sugar bowl tells the story of Polish postmodernism of the 1970s, when geometric discipline met material expression and design freedom. Glass and metal engage in dialogue: the transparent body seems to catch the morning light, while the silver-plated brass, marked by subtle traces of time, recalls the shift from strict functionality to bold, personal gestures in the domestic setting. It is a vessel that might whisper of table gatherings where tradition and modernity played equal roles.The sugar bowl may be paired with other tableware from the PRL era or with contemporary minimalist porcelain. It works well on a matte tablecloth or marble countertop, where the glass enhances light reflections and the metallic accents emphasize its decorative presence. In a collector’s arrangement, it can be combined with other 1970s pieces, pressed glass, or Polish ceramics—creating a cohesive yet intriguing composition for the table.
