ABOUT PRODUCTID 12688
The 'Ring Around' compote from the 1950s exemplifies Polish mid-century modern design produced by HSG Ząbkowice. Crafted from heavy, high-quality pressed glass, it showcases an intense cobalt blue hue and a high-gloss finish that enhances the interplay of light on its surface. Abstract relief patterns reminiscent of organic, petal-like forms adorn the exterior of the bowl, evoking the biomorphic trends that characterized innovative 1950s design. The composition is anchored by a broad, substantial foot that ensures stability and visually balances the sculptural profile. The piece is preserved in excellent condition—free from chips, cracks or restoration marks—signaling prudent care and thoughtful display over the decades.This compote speaks with the voice of postwar optimism: vivid glass becomes a statement of energy, while the organic motifs suggest a new design language that confidently merges function and decoration. The saturated blue glass plays with the light, castings cool, dynamic reflections, as if narrating the emergence of a Polish glassmaking tradition that prized both daily usability and expressive form. 'Ring Around' tells the story of a time when utility and artful design naturally converged.The compote may be placed on a light-colored table or sideboard to highlight the intensity of its cobalt blue in daylight. It can be paired with ceramics in organic shapes or minimalist vessels in pale hues to evoke a 1950s ambiance, especially in mid-century modern, vintage, or eclectic interiors. Contrasting fruits—lemons, oranges—or an empty display will accentuate its sculptural silhouette against natural wood or softly toned backgrounds.Technical specifications are not
