A set of six dessert plates from the 'Dew Drops' series, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for Huta Szkła Gospodarczego 'Ząbkowice' in Dąbrowa Górnicza, exemplifies late modernist Polish design from the 1980s. Each plate, measuring 21 cm in diameter, is made of pressed, colored-in-mass soda glass. The base is clear, cool-toned glass with a matte finish, accentuated by raised, organically arranged droplets in shades of amber yellow, cobalt blue, ruby red, and smoky brown. The dense, tactile texture of the droplets gives the plates a playful, distinctive character, while the flat profile and gently upturned edges reflect the functionality and discipline of the era. The set is preserved in very good, original condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration.These plates evoke the voice of Polish modernist design from the 1980s—a period when glass became a canvas for experimentation, and everyday objects offered a field for artistic play with light and color. The colorful droplets seem to capture morning dew suspended on glass, recalling a fleeting sense of coolness and transience. The pressed glass structure and the lively distribution of colored details reflect a fascination with material and the search for new, sensual experiences in daily use.This set can be introduced into both contemporary, minimalist interiors and those inspired by the eclectic traditions of the 1980s. The plates work particularly well on simple, raw tabletops—such as light wood or pure white—where the multicolored droplets become the focal point. They can be paired with transparent glass, steel cutlery, or smooth ceramics to create subtle contrast and emphasize
