ABOUT PRODUCTID 19393
This set of six 'literatka' glasses was produced in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s, exemplifying the mid-century modern style. Each glass features a cylindrical form with gently rounded sides and a flat, slightly thickened base, providing both stability and comfort in use. A deep, sunny yellow at the bottom gradually transitions into clear glass towards the rim, creating a smooth ombré effect. The set is free of additional ornamentation, focusing attention on the luminosity and polish of the glass. The surface is smooth and seamless, with precise finishing that reflects the functional aesthetic of Central European utilitarian design of the 1950s. The set is preserved in very good condition – there are no chips or cracks, only minimal signs of use consistent with vintage glassware.These glasses evoke the brightness and optimism of postwar Central Europe – vessels that seem to capture light, letting it dance across the yellow base and transparent walls. Their form speaks of the simplicity and practicality of the era, of gatherings around the table where each gesture – pouring a drink, sharing a moment – was meaningful. The subtle interplay of color and light recalls the atmosphere of everyday conversations, where both utility and a touch of visual pleasure were valued.The set can be used for everyday serving of beverages or as a decorative accent on a shelf or sideboard in interiors inspired by mid-century modern or eclectic vintage collections. Pairing with a simple clear glass carafe, a metal or dark wood tray, and minimalist ceramics will highlight the vibrancy of the yellow tone. The glasses perform well both in daylight and under the glow of a table lamp, creating luminous reflections and evoking the ambiance of home gatherings from decades past.
