ABOUT PRODUCTID 19523
This dish, designed by Jan Sylwester Drost for HSG Ząbkowice, is an example of Polish pressed soda glass from the 1970s, intrinsically linked to mid-century modern aesthetics. Made of transparent glass in a warm, golden yellow hue, the piece stands out with its broad, low silhouette and organically flowing, asymmetrical edges. The distinctive surface, reminiscent of hammered or frosted glass, brings visual depth and a lightly roughened tactile quality. Inside, three smoothly integrated glass partitions, made from the same colored glass, divide the platter into equal sections — a practical solution for serving snacks. The absence of any metal fittings or handles reinforces the glass’s central role, with proportions tailored for functional use. It is preserved in very good condition, retaining its original appearance with no signs of restoration or significant wear.This platter echoes the voice of the 1970s, an era that embraced democratized design and creative experiments with color and texture. Pressed glass from Ząbkowice, though mass-produced, often emphasized individuality through surface details and subtly imperfect lines. The semi-matte, yellow plane captures diffused light, reminiscent of calm afternoons or the sunny optimism of its time. Radiating partitions lead the eye outward, inviting convivial division and shared moments in everyday life.The platter could serve as a centerpiece on a living or dining room table, paired with neutral textiles in shades of grey or white to draw out the intensity of the yellow glass. It pairs well with other vintage transparent glass vessels, and within mid-century modern settings, is complemented by ceramics of the era and clean-lined wooden forms. In more eclectic interiors, it could be combined with metallic accents or bold graphic posters, balancing its optimistic, yet versatile, character.
