ABOUT PRODUCTID 11279
This salt cellar, produced by HSG Ząbkowice in Poland in the 1930s, exemplifies the utilitarian artistry of glass Art Deco. Made from transparent glass with a subtle, cool grayish hue, it features a compact, rounded shape, a slightly flared rim, and a thick, stable base. The exterior is adorned with a faceted geometric pattern of vertical and diagonal cuts, creating an interplay of depth and rhythmic light reflections. While the inside remains smooth and polished, the outer facets offer a distinct, tactile texture. The proportions are harmonious, with the bowl widening towards the top and narrowing to a sturdy base, all finished in high gloss that enhances the clarity and decorative geometry of the piece. Minor chips are visible on the rim, consistent with age and use, but the overall condition is good, with no signs of restoration or significant damage.This small object channels the spirit of the 1930s, when geometry and glass clarity became symbols of modernity and interwar optimism. Though utilitarian, the salt cellar reflects the era's fascination with light and proportion – its faceted surfaces capture and scatter light like a miniature crystal, while the subtle gray undertone evokes the atmosphere of metropolitan interiors from that time. Its design suggests that even the simplest table accessory can carry style and mood, serving as a quiet adornment and a witness to the era's aesthetic ideals.It can be displayed on a veneered console, in a glass-fronted cabinet, or as an accent on a contemporary table, where its geometric cuts will catch the play of daylight. The piece pairs well with other Art Deco objects, such as chromed coasters, porcelain trinkets, or silver accents. In eclectic spaces, it may be combined with colored
